Latin[edit]
Etymology[edit]
Uncertain. Perhaps from Ancient Greek *ἀρσινόειον (*arsinóeion), from Ἀρσινόη (Arsinóē), in reference to a queen of the Ptolemaic dynasty or to one of the towns called Arsinoe; alternatively simply a variant or misreading of argentea, from argenteus (“silvery”), thus “silvery thing”—in which case the late gloss “women’s headdress”, from the epitome of Festus, is spurious.[1][2]

- (Classical) IPA(key): /arˈsi.ne.um/, [ärˈs̠ɪneʊ̃ˑ]
- (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): /arˈsi.ne.um/, [ärˈsiːneum]
