English[edit]
Etymology[edit]
From per, borrowing from classical Latin per (“through”), and orum as incorrectly formed accusative of ōs (“mouth”).
Adverb[edit]
per orum
Usage notes[edit]
- The declined form is erroneous.[1] Proper Latin would be per os. This (per orum) is an alternative form of per orem, itself an ungrammatical form of per os.[1]
