Latin[edit]

Alternative forms[edit]
- cervēsa (Classical Latin)
- cerevēsia, cervī̆sia, cerevī̆sia, cervī̆sa, cerevī̆sa, cervī̆ssa, cerbī̆sia (Medieval Latin)
Etymology[edit]
Ultimately borrowed from Proto-Celtic *kurmi (“beer”).
Pronunciation[edit]
- (Classical) IPA(key): /kerˈu̯eː.si.a/, [kɛrˈu̯eːs̠iä]
- (Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): /t͡ʃerˈve.si.a/, [t͡ʃerˈvɛːs̬iä]
- Note: the -i- spellings possibly reflect the merger of /i/ and /e:/ with the quality of [e] but with loss of distinctive length. No Romance descendant points to /i:/. Palatalisation of /s/ (indicated by the -sa spellings) compounds the issue, with what seems like a single short -i- standing for a heavy syllable.
Noun[edit]
cervēsia f (genitive cervēsiae); first declension
- beer, (especially) of higher quality, made of wheat[1]
- Cēterum cēnseō cervēsiam esse bibendam.
- As for the rest, I am of the opinion that we (or everybody) should have some beer.
