The design of this work is to assist the student of Ety-
mology in ascertaining the true derivation and composition
of the words of the Latin language. That such an object
is important will be readily admitted, and our only care
need be to prove that our book is calculated to further
this end.
Until recent times the most distinguished scholars would
seem to have, viewed Etymology as a kind of literary
puzzle, wherein every one was to exercise his ingenuity
and make the best guess he could. Mere resemblance
was taken as a guide, without any consideration how such
resemblance arose. Thus what is manifestly a termination
was often taken for a root. A few examples of the ety-
mologies offered by the scholars of former ages will clearly
prove this, and whilst amusing by their absurdity, furnish
a strong argument in favour of a work constructed on
such a principle as this now put forth.
Aestimare or Aestumare. This verb is referred by
Vossius to aere r^av (timan) ' to put a money value upon
anything.' This explanation is rejected by Forcellini, who
adds some useful observations about the termination, which
he compares with the adjective endings timus or tumus*
Ager ' a field/ according to Varro, is derived from ago
1 I do or act/ " quod in eo agatur, because in it something
is done."
Fatisco < I gape or split/ is said to be from fatim hisco
' I gape abundantly.' Hera we have a good example of
IV
the error referred to. Sco or isco is not unusual as a verb-
ending, tremiscOj &c. Hisco itself is an example, the root
is hi, as seen in Mare ' to yawn/ in Greek ^* (chi), or
%at (chai), x aim ' I yawn.' What the root fat really is,
is quite another question and one not easily answered ; there
is however nothing to justify a reference to fatim.
Formica, according to Isidorus, is an amalgamation of
"quodjfera£ micas f arris, which bears the grains of corn."*
Fretum is supposed to be a contraction of fervetum,
because " in straits the waves are always agitated," in spite
of the difference of quantity. 2
Fur ' a thief/ is derived by Varro from furvus { dark,'
because " thieves steal in the dark ; " but it would be just
as reasonable to say that furvus was from fur, because
whatever is thievish is concealed and therefore dark.
Graculus * a jackdaw/ was supposed by Varro to be
from the word grex, gregis ' a flock,' because they fly in
flocks gregatim. Festus refers graculus to the verb gerere,
and supposes it was originally geraculus, because "they carry
the corn seeds," or because tc they carry off from the olive
yards two olives in their claws and one in their mouths."
Indutiae or Tnduciae ' a truce/ is explained by some
to be inde uti jam joined into one word, for the following
reason : " quod sit pactum, ut ante certam diem ne pugne-
tur$ ex eo die postea uti jam omnia belli jure agantur,
because an agreement is made that before a certain day
1 This is contrary to fact; but the absurdity of the etymology does
not depend upon this, the ancients universally believed that ants did
eat corn and lay up a store for the winter.
2 But a reference to p. 60 will show that the termination etum is
joined to the stems of substantives and not to those of verbs, hence the
imaginary word furv-etum is formed upon a false analogy; and if it is
proposed to divide it furve-tum, p. 59 will show that there is no such
form as a derivative from verbs of the second conjugation.
there is to be no fighting ; from that day forward all things
as heretofore are to be upon a war footing." Others suppose
the word to be " from initus or introitus, as though it were
initiae, because during the truce the hostile parties yisit
(ineant) one another's camp." Well may Forcellini re-
mark that this is grammatical trifling. Others, he proceeds,
wish to read induciae, and refer it to in and ducere, because
" the soldiers are not led against the enemy."
Recipero or Recupero. The explanation of this word
found in Forcellini, which is not refuted, but appears rather
to be received by him, is re and paro, the syllable ci after-
wards changed to cu, having been inserted. 1
Can the student deduce any general principles from an
examination of these examples ? Undoubtedly not. All is
bewildering guess-work — no principle can be discovered —
there is no rule to guide us. Sensible men therefore, seeing
the folly and absurdity of such fanciful conjectures, have
often abandoned the study of etymology entirely, as childish
waste of time. But instead of being deterred or led astray
by the nonsense of which we have given a few examples,
let us see if we cannot advance towards the certainty of
science. " Like Botany or Zoology, the science of language
is founded upon natural causes, and if it were studied upon
the same principles which have been so successful in the
hands of Linnaeus and Cuvier, it would be found to present
results equally certain and regular." 2
First then we would observe that the principle upon which
all scientific investigation depends is Comparison. It is only
by comparing resemblances and noting differences that we
1 But why should it not be a compound of re and cap of capere ?
Reciiperare is ' to get again.' That er is a common verbal termination
will be seen from the lists on p. 86, toleratio, &c. from verbs in erare,

can arrive at a safe conclusion. The more extended the
comparison the safer will be the conclusion. We should if
possible, have all the facts before us, then indeed the liability
to error is sensibly diminished. The process is mathematical
and might be mathematically expressed, it is however at the
same time common and easily comprehended, viz., the com-
parison of two things one with the other, that it may at the
same time be seen what is common to both and what peculiar
to each. The business of the etymologist will therefore be
to collect and classify words for the purpose of Comparison.
( ' A general classification, embracing the whole vocabulary of
the Latin, or any other language, ancient or modern, would
be at once the safest foundation for the inquiries of the phi-
lologist, and the most powerful aid to the beginner." 1
The question will then arise, upon what principle shall
this classification be made. In which part of the word is
the similarity to be established, in which the difference. The
Greek and Latin, and many other languages have been
arranged according to roots. The Dictionaries of Scapula,
Gesner, Salmon, &c. give all the derivatives from each
simple word under that word itself. And on exactly the
opposite principle we have, in Greek, Hoogeven's work ;
in English, Walker's Rhyming Dictionary ; French, Italian,
Spanish, German, and other modern languages have all
been so arranged, but no Latin Dictionary upon this plan
has, we believe, ever yet appeared. To supply this want
then we now offer the following pages, in which words
having the same termination are classed together. We do
not propose ours as a rhyming dictionary although it is one,
but whatever value may attach to the rhyming dictionaries
of modern languages, independently of their importance to
the verse-maker, must surely attach to this. The plan of

collecting together all words which contain the same root
is highly useful and important; it is manifestly suited for
ascertaining the meaning of the root. But if the object be
to determine the force of that part of the word which pre-
cedes or follows the root, this system of classification is
useless unless combined with another; since conclusions
drawn from solitary examples are generally fallacious. It
is therefore obvious that before the signification of any ter-
mination can be ascertained — nay even what the termination
really is, — lists more or less copious, of words in which it
is found, must be prepared. And this is our object — to aid
the student in determining the terminations of Latin words,
and what is their distinctive meaning. There are it is true
many words which present no difficulty, in which it may be
seen at a glance how much is root, how much termination ;
but this is not always the case, we have already noticed
some instances where grammarians have mistaken a mere
ending for a separate word, and when doubtful and difficult
words are met with the value of these lists will be felt. Take
for example the word specula ; there are two words so spelt,
specula and specula ; the use of ula as a diminutive is very
common ; cula also has the same force ; — spes ' hope/ spe-
cula i a little hope / but in specula there is no diminutive
signification, and moreover there is no substantive spec or
spe from which this word, denoting ' a watch-tower or other
watch-place,' could come. The difficulty is removed by
a reference to p. 16, where we find that ula, though fre-
quently a diminutive and affixed to substantives, is also
joined to verbal roots and signifies an instrument. Still
more striking is the result obtained upon p. 18, where it is
seen that subula 6 a needle/ ought to be divided su-bula and
referred to the root su of su-ere ' to sew/ the termination
hula denoting an instrument. There are many other ter-
vm
minations which have a different meaning according to the
part of speech to which they are added, e.g. ina, p. 21.
It would be moreover interesting and useful to know
what was the original force of the terminations ; whether,
at any period of the language, they were independent words ;
how they have become altered in process of time, &c. For
all such inquiries it is absolutely necessary that the words
be classified according to their endings. In the English
language the variation is slight, and we can easily recognize
the origin of many of the terminations ; the word full for
instance is seen mjoy-ful, beauti-ful ; like remains unaltered
in god-like, and appears (modified according to the regular
principle observable in tracing modern languages from their
parent tongues, the dropping of gutturals) as ly in godrly,
love-ly, and so on. But in Latin, change of letters is more
common and old forms become obscured, so that it very
frequently happens that the meaning of a termination can
only be ascertained by a comparison of several words in
which it occurs. Take an example, what is the meaning
of arius ? p. 33 gives us argentavius l money-dealer/ co-
lumb-arius l dove-keeper/ &c. There are many instances
where arius is equivalent to our 'keeper' or 'dealer.'
Again avium, p. 50, api-avium 'bee-stall,' carn-arium
1 meat-rack or stand,' pom-avium l fruit-garden or store,' &c.
where avium plainly means ' a place where anything is
kept.' It may at once be answered that avius, avia, avium
were originally adjective endings ; but what force have they
with adjectives, and what is their origin ? Such questions
our book is intended to raise ; we do not undertake to answer
them, we only prepare the way, we furnish that without
which investigation could not safely proceed. Nor can such
questions be properly answered, except by a comparison of
the terminations in the Greek and other languages.
IX
This mode of comparison not only ascertains what are the
terminations and what their signification, but also assists in
determining the roots. The two processes it is manifest are
closely connected, if it is known how much of a word is root,
it must be evident how much remains to be accounted for,
how much is termination ; and on the other hand, if we
have ascertained how much is termination, we have before
us the remainining part as the root, or rather in very many
instances as a modification of the root.
Not only is it important to know to what parts of speech
the terminations are added, but also to what forms of the
words they are affixed. Our dictionaries and grammars, pre-
sent every substantive to our notice, in the nominative case of
the singular number, and every verb in the first person of the
same number. 1 It therefore necessarily follows, that these
forms assume an undue importance in our eyes, and it would
be but a natural consequence if the student should suppose
that the terminations were affixed to these all important
forms. In fact, some words have been thus explained by
the learned. 2 Before, however, entering upon this question,
it will be well to explain the meaning of certain terms.
By the Root, we mean the simplest element, the ultimate
origin, of a word ; thus, due is the root of due, duc-tum,
e-duc-are, &c, and in the same way reg is the root of reg-o,
reg-alis, cor-rec-tor, &c. Roots, if we knew them all in their
simplest form would probably be found to be monosyllables. 3
If you take a verb or noun, whether of two or more syllables,
and remove all case and tense endings, you arrive at a form
1 Absurdly enough, the first person singular is given in Latin and the
infinitive mood in English, and a learner sees that amo means ' to love;'
either the Latin should be pinnted in the infinitive mood, which would in
fact save room, or the English should be given in the first person.
2 See Abdomen, p. 73.
3 "The element or root is generally a monosyllable." Long's
Cicero's Cato Major, &c, Preface p. 15.
which is common to all parts of that verb or noun, you arrive
at what has been called by some the Declinable Form, by
others the Crude Form, but which we have preferred de-
signating the Stem. Our term is, at least, as intelligible
to the uninitiated, and keeps up the metaphor of that
universally applied to the primary element, viz., the Root —
a root by acquisition becomes a stem or trunk. In short
words it often happens that the stem and root are identical,
but in the majority of instances the stem is a longer form
than the root. An example will serve to make our mean-
ing clear — we know that ped is a root, we can trace it
through many languages, our foot is exactly the same
word ; in pes, ped-is, ped-i, &c, the root and stem are
the same ped ; on the other hand in pedit-em, pedit-es,
&c, we have the same root ped, but the stem, that which
remains when the case endings have been removed, is pedit.
The stem is readily perceived when it terminates in a con-
sonant ; when it ends in a vowel more difficulty would be
experienced : we have prefixed to some of the declensions
the reasons why they are said to terminate in a, o, i, u, and e. 1
To return then to the subject of junctions. To what form
of the word is the termination affixed ? Or, again, in the
case of compound words, where two distinct words are joined
together, to what part of the former word is the latter at-
tached ? We have already said it is not the nominative case.
Is it then the genitive ? We have heard words so explained ;
but let us look at a few examples, take the compounds matri-
cid-ium, tyranni-cid-ium, &c, if tyranni is the genitive of
tyrannus, matri must be the dative of mater, and why should
1 Professor Key's Latin Grammar is written on the crude form system,
and in the preface a dictionary on the same principle is promised. Mr.
Kobson's Constructive Latin Exercises and Dr. Allen's Greek Exercises
are on the same plan. To these works the student is referred for further
particulars concerning the system.
XI
the genitive be used in one case, the dative in another ? Per-
haps it may be answered in the words of that notable rule
for the formation of comparatives and superlatives, because
it is " the first case that ends in if but what reasonable
explanation can be given for such a singularly arbitrary law ?
And again, even this convenient rule would be of no avail in
cav-aedium or silvi-cola. But why should these words be in
any case at all ? Even in English, in the only real case, the
Possessive — we find the contrary to be the rule. The school
grammar before us says, " when two or more nouns are so
closely connected as to form one complex notion, the apos-
trophe and s is added to the last word only, as Ward and
Tyndall's shop." The truth of this sentence no one will deny.
In compound Latin words exactly the same principle is ob-
servable. The words we have mentioned are in no case at
all. No case is needed ; if any were it would be the ac-
cusative. What then are the forms in question ? There is
but one solution, and that is reasonable and undoubtedly
the true one — the stems or crude forms.
All junctions must happen under one of the following con
ditions, the two parts must bring into juxta-position, either (a)
two vowels, (0) two consonants, (y) a vowel and a consonant
or (£) a consonant and a vowel. In the first case, if a ter-
mination is affixed to a noun, the latter drops the final vowel,
as anima, anim-ula ; in verbs compounded with a preposi-
tion the vowels generally coalesce, as co-ag-o, cogoy though in
manv in stances there is a diaeresis, as c'dactus. In the second
case, (j8) both consonants sometimes remain, as soror-cula,
often subject to euphonic changes, caused by the attracting
power of the initial letter of the root, particularly the case in
words compounded with prepositions, as sup-pos-itus ; in
other instances the two parts are connected by a vowel, which
is invariably i the thinnest and that which can be most rapidly
Xll
pronounced when it occurs in the middle of a word; 1 in
other instances the final consonant of the former part is
dropped, thus from ration we have ratio-cinium not ratio-i-
cinium. In the third case, (y) in the composition of verbs
the vowel of the preposition remains, as de-fer-o ; but if the
former word is a substantive or adjective the vowel of the
stem disappears and the connecting % is substituted, as magn-
i-fic-entia, aequ-i-noct-ium, where the stems are magno,
aequo ; so also from versu there is vers-i-culus. In the last
case, (^) no change takes place, as per-utilis.
As to the explanation of these facts there may be
difference of opinion. The question is whether when the
stem ends in a vowel, that vowel is as a general principle
elided, and the j)arts joined together by i f or whether as a
rule the vowel of the crude form remains and appears in
compound and derivative words in the corrupted form t.
The majority of instances would seem to lead to the former,
whilst some particular words such as primo-pilus, spe-cula,
febri-cula, &c, favour the latter explanation. This is the
theory held by Professor Key. But till the terminations
have been fully investigated we can hardly feel certain on
the point. Mr. Key explains dimnus as divo-inus, pomona
as pomo-na or pomo-ina, but is he justified in so doing ?
is there not a termination ina, ona, &c. ? The theory that
the vowel of the stem is dropped is reasonable enough, that
vowel is affixed to make the word declinable, that the case
endings may be attached, for when the stem ends in that
kind of consonant which allows the case endings to be joined
to it, no vowel is used. The practical difference caused by
1 The reason of the invariable use of i in such cases, will be seen by
observing the natural order of the vowels as established by Mr. Willis,
viz., i, e, a, 0, u, or u.o,a,e,i, according to the continental pronun-
ciation, which is the sound always given to i when it does not by itself
form the first syllable of a word. See Cambridge Philosophical Trans-
actions, 3. 231, and Key's Alphabet, p. 22.

the two opinions in a book like this is that Professor Key
would probably print our lists ina, ina, and ona as one,
and perhaps he is right; another is, that he would divide
thus, navi-cula, api-cula, instead of nav-i-cula, ap-i-cula, but
we consider it more important to show the root than the stem.
These then are the advantages we contemplated in the
compilation of a Latin Terminational Dictionary. 1. To
ascertain what the terminations really are ; 2. what is their
signification ; 3. to what parts of speech they are affixed ;
4. to what forms of the words they are attached ; 5. whether
a termination has always the same force, or whether it varies
according to the part of speech to which it is added \ 6. to
compare one termination with another, to see which were
common in the older authors, which in the later ; 7. to raise
conjectures as to the origin of the terminations ; 8. to assist
in determining the root, and 9. to show the philosophical
construction of language, that it may be studied philo-
sophically, and so its value as a system of training increased.
EXPLANATION OF THE METHOD OF ARRANGEMENT.
For convenience of arrangement we have divided all
words into two classes, (I) Simples and (II) Compounds.
By Simples we mean words containing one root and a
termination, whether the word be a primitive or a deriva-
tive 5 or in other words, whether there are or are not letters
or syllables between the root and the final termination. By
Compounds we mean words in which more than one dis-
tinct root is seen, or in which there is one root and a
prefixed preposition. The Simples are arranged alpha-
betically, according to the initial consonant of the word ;
the Compounds on the same plan, but according to the
initial consonant of the last element or root of the word.
In each declension the terminations are arranged alpha-
b
XIV
betically, beginning from the end, thus a, then ac, aci,
then ae, and so on, always beginning at the end; they
are however printed the direct way, a, ca, ica, ea, &c.
AnnuluSy for example, is of the Second or O Declension
and masculine gender, it must therefore be sought some-
where between pp. 28 and 42. Now spelling the word
backwards we have sulunna ; if therefore the word is not
found under su, or us as it is printed, it must be looked
for under sul or lus ; if not there, under sulu or ulus,
where annulus will be found, p. 36. It will often happen
that the student knows at once in which list to expect a
word. We have given the Nominative or Genitive, as
well as the Stem, for the convenience of all parties.
We do not profess to give the roots, but we have en-
deavoured to assist the student and to excite investigation
by subdividing the words. This would have altered the
character of our book, for no work should attempt to give
Latin roots without explaining at length the euphonic
changes which each undergoes ; nor would a work of this
nature be complete unless it compared the roots of the
Latin with those of other languages.
It may happen that our mode of subdividing some words
will cause surprise ; some too which are commonly con-
sidered simple words will be found amongst Compounds.
The scholar also may not always agree with our division.
We have not ourselves always placed the words in the lists
to which we believe they properly belong ; we thought it
undesirable to give at length our explanation of such words,
and therefore submitted to custom and generally received
opinion rather than adopt a division which without ex-
planation, would seem unreasonable and erroneous. Some
might have wished the lists still more minutely classified ;
this the tutor will find a useful exercise for his pupils. The
XV
method adopted by Hoogeven is clearly objectionable ; he
arranges not according to suffixes, but according to the
letters in which the word happens to end ; thus o&* {odd)
' an ode/ is, according to him, a word ending in da.
We do not profess to be always consistent in our sub-
division of words, we have not aimed at it ; perfect con-
sistency in a work of this kind is unattainable without first
determining all the roots. A greater degree of consistency
however was undoubtedly attainable, but we considered
it unimportant, or perhaps with respect to the younger
student positively injurious. But let us not be misunder-
stood on the subject of derivation. It will be seen for
instance, that consequentia is thus divided con-sequ-entia ;
but by this it is in no way meant to be intimated that the
word is formed from sequ-entia by prefixing the preposition
con. This error must be carefully guarded against. From
sequor we have sequens and hence sequentia, and again from
sequor we have consequor, hence consequens, and from that
consequentia. The student who has been well taught will
be in no danger of falling into error on this subject.
We have marked the quantities throughout in order to
impress them upon the memory. In etymology quantity
is of great importance, and the common practice of pro-
nouncing upon an English system of accentuation should
be carefully avoided; wrong ideas of quantity are thereby
engendered, which either in studying the etymology of
words or in analysing verses are great hindrances and
often lead to error. We would further caution against
the common method of dividing words in scanning verses.
We extract these lines from Carey's " Latin Prosody Made
Easy;" the same error will be found in other works :
Trahunt | que sic | cas ma j chinas carl J nas Hor.
Msece | nas ataviis | edite re | gibiis Hor.
XVI
These examples are taken at random, and it would be easy
to find others if possible still worse. Surety it cannot be
more erroneous to write hin-gly in English than re-gibus
in Latin, reg is the root and not to be divided any more
than hing. We would therefore recommend the teacher
always to require his pupils to divide the words ety-
mologically, as well as with reference to the laws of
metre ; it will be found an improving exercise, thus,
Trahunt j que sice J as mach [ inae carin j as
Maecen | as atavis | edite reg | Tbiis
Our work has been compiled from the Lexicon of For-
cellini. We have omitted words which are not found in
classic authors, but most of those used by Pliny and
Columella are introduced. We had indeed digested the
whole of the Lexicon of Forcellini according to our plan,
but the press of more urgent engagements has induced us to
publish nouns only. For the quantities we have consulted
the il Thesaurus Poeticus Linguae Latinae" of Quicherat,
and the edition of Forcellini by Furnaletto, 1828-33.
To the peculiarly suggestive method of teaching pursued
by Mr. Long while he so ably filled the Latin chair in
University College, London, we owe the idea of this book ;
two years ago we found each had independently com-
menced it. We are moreover indebted to him for one or
two practical suggestions since going to press. Professor
Key's kindness we would also acknowledge. To other
distinguished scholars who have inspected some of our
proofs, and to Mr. Robson, we tender our warmest thanks.
An Index of Terminations will be found at p. 129.

to lay open or flat, pla{u)d-ere to strike the flat of the hands together,
pla-nt-a the flat or sole of the foot, pla{n)-us flat.

Corruda as the name of a herb occurs in Cato and Columella.
There are two curious words mus-cerda, su-cerda, which sig-
nify the excrements of mice and swine. Whether the word eerdo
(stem cerdon) has any connection with this form cerda, may be
worth enquiring.
Suada, or Suad-ela, means ' the goddess of persuasion.' With
this compare Epona 'the goddess of horses/ Lua 'the goddess of
purification/ and Morta an epithet applied to one of the Fates.
1 Very probably the same word. 2 There is also schema, atis, n.
3 TheJjrcek case endings are also found, e, es.
4 Perhaps a compound from a-w; (sos) 'safe' and pit 'come/ a root which
appears as bit in some compounds in Plautus, perbitere, adbitere, &c.
5 There are also spicus, and spicum. 6 Also written scilla.
7 Also written stupa. 8 Or thensa.
9 There is also tiaras, ae, m. i0 And trahea. n Also written volva.

1 Most probably, infula from in-fud, insula from in-sed, cf. consul
from con-sed-ere.
2 This is probably a compound formed of primo the stem of primus,
and the root gen ' born/ and signifies ' one born of a former marriage' —
the change of m for v, and the reverse, is not without example, thus pro-
mulgare from stem vidgo (vulgus).
3 Ulpian uses a word triga ; compare the masculine auriga.
4 Or applauda.
5 The a seems to be both root and termination cf. ensifer, &c.

Scrupeda, 'one who walks painfully/ occurs in Varro, and a
fragment of Plautus.

Respublica is an instance of two declinable words written toge-

an adjective ; a contraction of populica.
1 The root is ed ' eat/ hence we divide es-ca ; below we write po-sca
horn 2)0 'drink.'
2 These words are also found with the Greek case-endings e, es.
3 The root for appears in n. pi. foria, which according to Nonius
means { stercora liquidiora.' Compare the uncommon words foriolus and
conforio.
4 A feminine of an adjective form derived from the proper name
Lucanus. So we find Liburnica or Liburna ' a pinnace' ; and Gallicae

(ere) and exuo (ere), and perhaps the v is part of the termination.
Though in other words in via, as pluv-ia as well as in the deri-
vatives from lav and lu, (luv), we take v as part of the root.

Nominative ends in ia. Stem ends in ia.
Under the heading ia., we place those words in which we find a
participial or adjectival stem immediately before ia : and as they
are numerous, we keep them in a list by themselves, subdividing
them into antia and entia. These terminations answer to our ance
an&ence; with this simple change many of the words become English.
Again we have subdivided entia into e-ntia and entia, i.e. into
those coming from verbs which add an e to a root to make a decli-
nable stem (Second Conjugation), and those in which the e is only
a connecting vowel joining the termination ntia to the root (Third
and Fourth Conjugations.) We have, in the lists, printed the
entia without subdivision, merely for convenience ; they might
have been printed aud-e — nt-ia, &c, and aud-i — e-nt-ia, &c. So
also err-antia, &c. might more strictly have been divided
err-a — nt-ia.

Most of these are diminutives, formed from feminine nouns in a,

as cervic-ula, cortic-ula, falc-ula. Besides this ula when added to
a verb-root, seems to denote a thing which performs the act denoted
by that verb, as reg-ula, ' a ruler' or instrument for ruling lines ;
so spec-ula, teg-ula; so perhaps fer-ula ; similarly sec-ula ' a

some of them as "ad alteram," are absurd : the word means a mistress, a
paramour, and may be related to adula-ri, to l caress' ; though that is by-
no means certain : if it could be shown that the a was merely a prefixed
syllable, we should be disposed to say the root was dul of dulc-i, (nom.

2 The contracted form nauta, instead of nauita, is more common.
SECOND OK O DECLENSION.
MASCULINES.
Nominative ends in us. Stem ends in o.
Reasons for saying that the stem of substantives of the second
declension ends in o.
I. The corresponding declension in Greek has o both in
masculine and neuter, xoyo; (logos), £iAov (xulon.)
II. The older Latin MSS. and Inscriptions read o in many
instances, where later copies give u, as servom, divom,
for servum, divum.
III. It is probable that the older forms of the nominative mas-
culine were servos, dominos, and in the plural, servoi,
dominoi ; so also in the dative plural servois, dominois.
This will explain why is of the plural is always long,
contracted from ois, and in the a declension from ais.
An old MS. of Virgil gives ab oloes for ab illis. In
the other cases the stem is apparent : servo, servorum,
and servos.
IV. The tendency of the Latin language was to change o into
u ; so the older forms volgus, poplicola, became vulgus,
publicola.
V. Some vowel or other is wanted before the case-endings, s,
m, rum, &c. ; and as we have a in the first declension,
u in the fourth, and e in the fifth, so it is almost un-
deniable that we have o in the second.

This seems to be an adjective termination like the Greek to? : it

nius. The corresponding neuter, ium, is more common, for it is
largely used with verbal stems ; such is not particularly the case
with ius, though we may notice an epithet of Jupiter, mentioned
by Ovid, Fast. 3, 327, namely, Elicius,, which that poet derives
from e-lic-ere.

arius, drio
A question might arise, whether this termination should be put
down as rius or as arius. Since it is added to substantives, it
happens that many of those substantives have a stem ending in a :
that is to say they are of the first declension, as ampull-a-rius,
piscin-a-rius. Whereas, if the stem belongs to substantives of the
third declension, we have a clear termination arius, as api-arius,
falc-arius. If we have a word derived from the second declension
the o of the stem is dropped, argento, argent-arius.
We have concluded to say that arius is the termination in every
instance, and that when the stem ends in a or o, the vowel is
dropped.
The meaning of arius is ' a man who has the care of anything,'
as arment-arius ; or ' one who deals in anything/ as argent-arius.
Similarly it will be seen that arium means ' a place where
anything is kept.'
Several of the words in this list are merely the masculine of
adjectives ; and perhaps the same explanation might be hazarded
for them all. Compare the adjective endings aris and alis ;
and the Greek erios (ipto?).
Some of the words denote things, and not persons, as sextarius ;
and in Pliny or Columella you may meet with pult-arius, 'a
porringer' used to hold 'puis,' (stem pult.)

General Observations on this Termination.
Most of these words are diminutives, that is, they denote
"a little one of the kind;" the terminations which have this
force are ulus, cuius, olus, ellus, illus. See Key's Grammar,
^§ 198-209. The change of o and u presents no difficulty, and
the syllable which is the groundwork of all must be ul or ol, cul
or col; the forms ellus, illus, result from combination as will
be shown.
In English the termination appears as le and cle in words de-
rived from the Latin ; but our own diminutive ending is kin, the
same as chen in German — it has passed out of common use, and
is seen chiefly attached to proper names, to which it gave a tone
of endearment, Perkin for Peter, Wilkin for Will, Tomkin for
Thomas, &c.
But the Latin ulus and cuius have not always this force, some-
times they denote merely an agent, as sacri-fic-ulus, though it
will happen that some cases look as if an old diminutive had lost
its force and become a general expression ; and in the cognate
terminations ula, bula, culum, bulum, we have the full sense of
an ' instrument.'
ellus, ello
Some of these words are formed by ulus added to substantives
whose stem ends in ro or no, the vowel is dropped and the r or u
becomes 7, thus agri-ulus gives agellus, asinulus gives asellus,
and sometimes both forms coexist in the language : others result
from ulus put on to a word which had already received that
termination, these may be called secondary diminutives, as
locellus for locululus ; in one word we find a tertiary forma-
tion, or diminutives three deep, namely, agellulus ; so in the first
declension we have puellula.
The words in illus may be accounted for in like manner ; and
among them might be reckoned the proper name Camillus, it is
said to be Etruscan, and to mean a ' Minister of the Gods.'

As to the words bacidus and graculus it may be doubted whether
they should be classed in this list or under cuius.
cuius, culo
Most of these words are derived from substantives of the third de-
clension. The i before cuius is worth notice, it is sometimes the vowel
of a stem which itself ends in i, as amni, igni ; sometimes it is a mere
connecting vowel, as font-i-culus from the stem font : at other
times it has arisen from u, as versi-culus from stem versu. We
have, notwithstanding, in all cases separated it from the root.

On one occasion when comparing discipulus with muscipula,
we were tempted to try and force an analogy between them, and
to say that as mus-cip-ula a l mouse-catcher ' (that is ' a mouse-
trap ; ) was formed from mus and cap, so perhaps discipulus might
be compounded of dis and cap ; but though the stem disc, l teach/
is not a root in simple form, yet it is not right to assume that dis
is the root : it might be die, or it might be di; and, on the whole,
we have thought it better to hazard a termination pulus.
1 This word is remarkable; . the termination is added to the nomi-
native case. Pulvis-cuhis is not a similar example, for the is of the
nominative is seen as er in the oblique cases and is part of the stem.
We should have expected laciculus.

Some little difficulty is presented by masculines with nomina-

nominatives would be agerus, magisterus, like numerus, humerus ;
this supposition is borne out by the fact that compounds from
fer and ger are found both ways, that is, we find armiger and
morigerus, although it generally happens that the form in us is
used as an adjective.
The difficulty is removed by admitting that the Romans could
allow er to stand for a nominative, and preferred it to the longer
form erus; while in the oblique cases agri, agro, &c. the e was
often dropped, but the same case-endings used as in any other
substantive whose stem was in o.

42 SECOND OR O DECLENSION, NEUTERS.
NEUTERS.
Nominative ends in um. Stem ends in o.
The ending um, like v in Greek, appears in the nominative of
neuters belonging to what is called the second declension ; we say-
that the stem ends in o, as regn-um stem regn-o, for the reasons
assigned at page 28.
We would not, however, be quite sure that m actually is the
mark of the neuter gender ; according to the theory maintained
by the advocates of the new system we have (taking the older
forms of the Latin languages)
MASCULINE NEUTER
Nom. xoyo-g (logos) domino-s Nom. |iAo-v (xulon) regno-m
Ace. xoyo-y (logon) domino-m Ace. fiAo-v (xulon) regno-m
A.nd from a comparison of other declensions we are forced to
conclude that, for the masculine gender, s is the mark of the
nominative, and m that of the accusative. In the third declension
many of the neuters have no distinctive mark at all, and end in
the bare stem, as th-^s (teichos) for r«x s ? (teiches), where the s is
no mark of the nominative, seeing that it appears also in the
accusative ; sometimes even a letter of the stem is dropped in the
nominative, as a-w^a (soma) from stem c-w^aT (somat).
If we could admit that m denoted gender, we could at once
account for both cases being alike, without any distinct case-
endings at all ; but upon these minute points it is very difficult to
arrive at a certain conclusion.

in this passage, sometimes in the masculine form.

SECOND OR O DECLENSION, — NEUTERS. 45
Nominative ends in ium. Stem ends in 10.
The termination ium is put on to the stems of verbs, sub-
stantives, and adjectives ; it may be compared with the feminine
termination ia. With verbal stems it denotes an act, or a state,
and often corresponds to our ing as foeni-sic-ium ' haycut-ting/
melli-fic-ium ' honey-make-ing,' homi-cid-ium ( manslay-ing.'
With substantive stems it often has a collective force, as
bi-noct-ium ' the space of two nights,' bi-du-um l the space of
two days ; ' so bi-enn-ium, &c.
Sometimes it is a matter of question, whether the stem is from
a substantive or from a verb, as judic-ium ' judging/ augur-ium
' augur-ing 5 ' although as the verbs, judic-a-re, augur-a-re, are
themselves derived from substantives, like numerous other verbs
of the first conjugation, it is possible that the words in question
are formed by affixing ium to the substantive-stems.

Among the words which end in ium, are found a few which end
in cin-ium and mon-ium. The latter looks like a mere termi-
nation ; but in two of the words which have the former ending
we have a reference to can, the root of can-ere ' to sing ; ' there
can be no doubt about the word galli-cin~ium, which means the
■ f cock-crowing/ though there might be some dispute as to the
word vati-cin-ium ; except however we take can in the sense of
6 playing a part/ that root will not apply to latro-cin-ium,
ratio-cin-ium, &c. Note further, that from the stems' latron,
ration, we ought to expect latroni-cin-ium, rationi-cin-ium —
w r hereas the n of the stem is dropped. However, as the lists
stand by themselves, the student may speculate upon them.

Nominative ends in ium . Stem ends in 10.
This denotes the place where anything is kept, as aer-arium
1 a place where money is put/ avi-arium ' a place for birds/*
ros-arium ' a bed of roses." Sometimes it denotes ' thing,' 'stuff/
as igni-arium ' fire-stuff* or c touchwood,' sub-arium 'a thing
to wipe off perspiration/ ( a napkin ' or e handkerchief, sol-arium
"' a sun-dial.'
The termination is properly the neuter of an adjective, and, as
before seen, the masculine arius means a person who has the care
of anything. The feminine aria is rare. See p. 13 and 33.
Some of the stems belong to the a declension, as rosa, corolla,
tabula ; we have supposed the a to go out before the termination.

from the words ending in ulum, olum, ellum, and ilium ; the same
remark applies to most words in culum ; but several substantives
of the latter termination signify an instrument, as po-culum ( a
drinking-cup,' fer-culum ' a tray ; ' a similar explanation may be
given for nearly all those in bulum ; this termination may be com-
pared with brum, when we consider that the liquids I and r are

Redimi-culum is ' a thing to bind round,' ' a band j ' there is
a verb redimi-re, but its derivation is obscure ; the preposition
red in the same sense as re occurs in many words, red-i-re e to
go back,' red-d-ere 'to put back; but what is im-il It is
not improbable that red is an older form of re, and prod (in
prod-est, &c.) of pro ; if the ideas of ' back ' and l round '
may be referred to the same conception, for indeed going round
is the act of constantly going back to the point you started from,
then we may compare red with rot-a 'a wheel,' and perhaps
with our rou(n)d.

Lumectum occurs in Varro for ' a collection of thorns ; ' and
as carec-tum is formed from the stem carec (nom. carex) we might
look for a stem lumec ; but the word which is found in Varro in
the sense of ' a thorn' is luma.
Senatus-consultum is an example of two nouns being written as
one ; so also paterfamilias.
etum, eto
Etum signifies a collection of things, or at any rate a place
where things are collected, and by good authors is almost in-
variably put on to a plant or tree, as quercetum 'an oak grove,'
pin-etum ' a pin-ery.' Cicero, however, uses sax-eium for ' a
place full of rocks.'

THIRD OR I DECLENSION,
We divide what is usually called the Third Declension into
two parts :
I. Substantives whose stem ends in I.
II. Substantives whose stem ends in a Consonant.
It will be seen that the second division is the more numerous,
and that most of these substantives have a consonant immediately
before the case-endings, as reg-is, reg-em ; so mont-em, lapid-em,
ration-em, parent-em, &c. ; or as we express it, that the stem
ends in a consonant.
But the question is, are there any whose stem ends in a vowel ?
In the first declension a predominates, in the second o, in the
fourth u, and in the fifth e is perceptible ; it remains then to
inquire whether or not we can establish an I Declension. If so,
it would really be better to make a sixth declension.
Take the substantives of which the nominative ends in es or is,
and which do not increase hi the genitive, as nubes, navis. Now
if you say that the stems are nub and nav, you may perhaps find
no great difficulty in accounting for the other cases, but you must
add es or is to form the nominative. But the analogy of the
language seems to show that the nominative is either(«) the same
as the stem, as musa, error, pater, imber, to say nothing of the
neuters, fulgur, cadaver, &c. ; or else that it is(/2) formed by the
addition of s, as hiem-s, princep-s.
But there are peculiarities both ways.
a The last letter of a stem is often dropped in the nominative,
as stems ration, sermon, nom. ratio, sermo ; or there is a
difference of vowel, as stem pectin, nom. pecten; or
both together, as stem imagin, which is supposed to be
equivalent to imagon, nom. imago.
$ The nominative in s is often not recognised at first, by
reason of euphonic changes; thus it sometimes unites
with c or g and forms x, as from stems luc, pac, reg, we
have the nominatives lues, pacs, regs ; obscured by the
common orthography lux, pax, rex. At other times
64 THIRD OR I DECLENSION.
the final letter of the stem is lost sight of, as from the
stems lapid, custod, mont, frond, we have the nomina-
tives lapis, custos, mons,frons; and occasionally a two-
fold instance occurs, as with stem noct, where in the
nom. you lose the t and find nox (noes).
Still there is a strong probability in favour of s alone being the
sign of the nominative, and as our theory gives us dominu-s (for
domino-s), gradu-s, dies, so we believe in a stem navi, nom.
navi-s, vi nom. vi-s, &c.
Similarty, we think that the stem is nubi, although the nom.
is nubes. For the vowels e and i are much confounded in this
declension, the better MSS. give, for example, abl. sing, navi,
nom. and ace. plur. navis, where the printed books often read
nave and naves.
Again, looking at the accusative singular we find evidence of
an I Declension. If we are right in saying m is the sign of the
accusative case, or in other words, what is added to form an
accusative, as in penna-m, domino-m, fructu-m, and re-m, then
such forms as ovi-m, turri-m, (and the ace. in im is the older
form,) give us stems ending in i.
And in the ablative singular we have ara, servo, gradu, spe,
and, what again is the older and sometimes only form, turri, vi,
&c. ; so that again we are led by analogy to an I Declension.
We assume also that the neuters in e have a stem in i, mari,
reti, &c.
It often happens that a word has two stems, one ending in i,
and another ending in a consonant, as plebi nom. plebes, and
pleb nom. plebs.
The first division then will contain those words which we
suppose to have a stem ending in i> and they will be arranged
under the following headings : —

THIRD OR CONSONANT DECLENSION,
In this division of the third declension, containing substantives
which increase in the genitive, very many words will be found
which have no termination, in which the root and stem are the
same, the root being used as a stem. We have therefore,
arranged the words according to the final letter of the stem, or,
in other words, according to the letter immediately preceding is
of the genitive ; and for the convenience of those to whom such
a plan would be strange, we have headed the pages with the
genitive case instead of the nominative, at the same time
printing the words in the lists in the nominative, and giving
before each list the last letter or letters of the nominative,
the "genitive, and also of the stem.

Abdomen is generally derived from abdo e I hide ;' but if this
work is of any use at all, it will show that substantives derived
from verbs are not formed from the first persons of those verbs.
The root of abdere ' to hide ' is da ; and as that root sometimes
assumes the form do, e.g. in do-num, do-nare, it may in
ab-do-men. But at all events it is wrong to derive the word
immediately from the first person of the present tense.

This termination seems to have gone out of fashion in later
times, for in many cases we find in the older authors words
ending in edo, whilst in the later writers they end in itas, as
gravedo, gravitas ; this rule has its exception in dulcedo, dulcitas,
the latter is used by Accius. The state or condition expressed
by the root is the meaning conveyed by this termination • it
corresponds with the Anglo-Saxon nes or nys, which we have
as ness.

In the same way as edo seems to have been preferred by the

jectives, but, as in the case of tabitudo, sometimes to other parts
of speech. It denotes quality ; in English we have tude its
derivative, and ness the Anglo-Saxon affix with the same force.
We consider the i to be merely a connecting vowel.

ago, agin-is, agin
This termination seems to be joined on to substantives in the
majority of cases ; it is not clear what is its force. It has been
suggested that ago, tgo, and ugo are virtually the same termina-
tion ; if this be the case, perhaps the observation just made will
not hold good.

Suffrago is 'the joint of an animal's hinder leg, the pastern

Lappago, plantago, and tussilago are names of herbs.
Indago i hunters' toils, nets, &c.' is a word of doubtful
etymology.
* Sometimes written solicitudo.
2 This syllable man is supposed by some to be from the old adjective
manis l gentle.' Nonius says that it is from the stem manu, (nom.
manus,) and maybe compared with the Greek %upo-n9~ns (cheiro-eth-es),
said of animals that will ' feed out of the hand.'
3 It has been suggested that im-ago, im-ita-ri, and sim-ilis, and
probably sim-ius ' an ape ' too, contain the same root.

are confessedly inconsistent, and have assigned our reasons in the
Preface. The a is the final letter of the Stem or Crude Form.

Comissatio ' a revel/ is derived by some from the Greek XW| uo;
(comos) ■ by others it is written com-essatio, and derived from
com and ed-ere ' to eat.' The quantity favours the former de-
rivation.
Inddgatio is supposed by some to be from the old preposition
indo and ag-ere ; but this is dubious.
%Meri-di-atio is formed from meridies, and signifies ' a noon-

1 Forcellini gives the etymology of integer as in and tago, an old
word supplanted by tango. This is the explanation of the word ; but
it is not in any way confirmed by the existence of the word tago, for
the n of tango is no part of the root, and the student has probably long
since learnt that it is the root that is found in compound words. The
root is t, a short vowel, and g ; we find it either as teg, tag, or tog.
2 This is the way Professor Key divides this word (v. Grammar,
§ 981, note* ); he gives as the primary meaning ' to wag the tail at/
and connects the syllable ill with cauda ' a tail.' Cf. p. 20 ; n. 2.

Praetor is generally allowed to be a contraction of prae and it
the root meaning ' go,' 'the one who goes before;' so ' leader,
* general.' There is a compound pro-praetor. There is also a
word circitor 'one who goes round to see all is right,' used in
later Latin. Whether the t in these words is termination or root
will be seen by comparing the words in or with these in tor.

1 The vowel of the stem is long ; the old orthography was stlis.
2 The stem is noct ; in the nominative the t was elided, and cs were
then written together x. 3 No nominative is found.
4 The fuller form was aevitas.
5 This is explained to be ' a secret grudge/ and is derived from simu-
lare ' to feign'; though Cicero says, "multas simultates partim obscuras,
partim apertas suscepi." It is more likely to be from simul ' together,'
like crv(j.-(?>o\-ri (sum-bol-e), which signifies ' a coming together,' and so
' a hostile encounter': although the Greek word is often used of coming
together with friendly intentions.

The following words present some difficulty with regard to
division : —
exil-itas obscen-itas pernlc-itas
obes-itas obsciir-itas subtil-itas
obliqu-itas
The first and last are from the adjectives exili (nom. exilis) and
subtili (nom. subtilis) ; the latter is said to be from sub and tela,
which is a mere guess ; we are inclined to refer both to the
-adjective termination His, and so we shall have sub-t-ilis from the
preposition sub, or the stem subt which appears in subter, subtus;
unless it be preferable to suppose a termination tills, and then we
have at once sub-tilis and sub-tilitas. Perhaps the same may be
hazarded for ex-ilis and ex-ilitas. We must however confess that
the meaning of the words cannot easily be deduced from this
etymology.
Obes-itas, from stem obeso (nom obesus) is said by Facciolati
to be from ob and ed ' eat/ whence a participle ob-e-sus l eaten
up/ so 'thin/ and by contrary signification 'fat' (?).
Obliqu-itas, from obliquo, (nom. obliquus) ; some divide the
adjective, ob-liqu-us, others o-bliqu-us, and compare the Greek
word ■n'kay-iog (plag-ios).
Obscenitas and pernicitas are from obscen-o (nom. obscenus)
and pernio (nom. pernix). But the derivation of those adjectives
is doubtful.
Obscuritas, see p. 99.
