Latin[edit]
Etymology[edit]
From crīnis (“hair”) + -ītus (“-ed”), possibly originally formed by combining an instrumental singular case-form ending in *-ih₁ + -tus.[1] In form, the word can be interpreted as a participle of a fourth-conjugation verb crīniō (“to cover, as if with hair”); as this is rare and usually used only in the sense of foliage, the verb is probably a back-formation from the adjective.
Pronunciation[edit]
- (Classical) IPA(key): /kriːˈniː.tus/, [kriːˈniːt̪ʊs̠]
- (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): /kriˈni.tus/, [kriˈniːt̪us]
