Latin

Etymology

From Proto-Italic *Kerēs, from Proto-Indo-European *ḱerēs, from *ḱer- (“to grow”). Cognate with creō, crēscō, Faliscan 𐌂𐌄𐌓𐌄𐌔 (ceres, “Ceres”) and Oscan Kerrí (dat. sg.).

Pronunciation

• (Classical Latin) IPA^(key): [ˈkɛ.reːs]
• (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA^(key): [ˈt͡ʃɛː.res]

Proper noun

Cerēs f sg (genitive Cereris); third declension

1. (Roman mythology) Ceres (goddess of agriculture)
2. (New Latin, astronomy) Ceres (dwarf planet)
3. (figuratively) food, bread, fruit, corn, grain, etc.
   • 29 BCE – 19 BCE, Vergilius, Aeneis 1.177–179:

     Tum Cererem corruptam undīs Cereāliaque arma
     expediunt fessī rērum; frūgēsque receptās
     et torrēre parant flammīs et frangere saxō.

     Then, weary of [these] circumstances, they brought out [the grain of] Ceres, soaked with seawater, and the utensils of Ceres; and they prepared both to roast with flames and to grind with stone that grain [which] had been recovered.

Declension

• Very rarely found in the plural (cf. sacerdōs Cerērum found in one inscription, referring to Ceres along with Proserpina).
• The genitive singular Cereris has an alternative Old Latin form Cererus, with the rare third-declension genitive singular ending -us instead of the standard Classical Latin ending -is.

Third-declension noun, singular only.

Norwegian Bokmål

A high-resolution view of Ceres from NASA's Dawn spacecraft.

A first-century Roman marble statue of the goddess Ceres.

Etymology

Internationalism, based on Latin Cerēs (“Ceres, the Roman goddess of grain and agriculture”), from Proto-Italic *Kerēs (“with grain; Ceres”). De Vaan reconstructs the latter from a Proto-Indo-European s-stem *ḱerh₁/₃-os (“nourishment, grain”), ultimately from *ḱerh₁/₃- (“to feed”).

The name has traditionally also been compared with Latin creō (“to create, beget”) and crēscō (“to grow”), a comparison still given in some Norwegian reference works. De Vaan, however, regards crēscō as belonging to a different Proto-Indo-European root.

The astronomical sense is named after the Roman goddess. The dwarf planet was discovered by Giuseppe Piazzi in 1801; Piazzi initially proposed the name Ceres Ferdinandea, additionally honouring Ferdinand, but the second element was subsequently dropped.

Cognate with Faliscan 𐌂𐌄𐌓𐌄𐌔 (ceres, “Ceres”) and Oscan 𐌊𐌄𐌓𐌓𐌝 (kerrí, “Ceres, dative singular”). More distantly, compare Ancient Greek κορέννυμι (korénnumi, “to satiate, feed”), Lithuanian šerti (“to feed”), Old Norse hirsi, Old Saxon hirsi and Old High German hirso (“millet”).
