Latin[edit]
Etymology[edit]
Originally most likely an ellipsis of patrēs et cōnscrīptī, seemingly distinct groups of senators in the early Republic. The 7th-century writer Isidore of Seville interprets cōnscrīptī as adjectival, but this reading is now usually rejected; the singular pater cōnscrīptus is, however, attested in Cicero (apparently as a joke).

patrēs cōnscrīptī m pl (variously declined, genitive patrum cōnscrīptōrum); third declension, second declension
- (politics) An honorific term of address for the Roman Senate, literally conscript fathers or fathers and conscripts.
