Latin
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Pronunciation
[edit]- (Classical Latin) IPA(key): /anˈnoː.sus/, [änˈnoːs̠ʊs̠]
- (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): /anˈno.sus/, [änˈnɔːs̬us]
Adjective
[edit]annōsus (feminine annōsa, neuter annōsum); first/second-declension adjective
- full of years, old, aged
- 8 CE, Ovid, Fasti 2.571:
- ecce anus in mediīs residēns annōsa puellīs
- Behold an old woman, full of years, sitting among girls.
(A year is an annus; an elderly woman an anus; and here Ovid's rhythmic word-play doubly describes her as being elderly indeed: anus annōsa – an old woman ‘‘long-lived’’ or ‘‘full of years.’’ The position of the word annōsa next to puellīs – that is to say, girls who are ‘‘few of years’’ – emphasizes their contrasting ages and appearance.)
- Behold an old woman, full of years, sitting among girls.
- ecce anus in mediīs residēns annōsa puellīs
