stipulor

Latin

Alternative forms

stipulō

Etymology

Probably derived from stipula (“blade or wisp of straw”), that played a symbolic role when the partners formally confirmed the agreement.^[1] Given that this word also has a cognate in Umbrian stiplo, Proto-Italic *stipelāō can be reconstructed.^[2]

Pronunciation

(Classical Latin) IPA^(key): [ˈstɪ.pʊ.ɫɔr]
(modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA^(key): [ˈstiː.pu.lor]
