paraveredus
Latin
editAlternative forms
editEtymology
editFrom Ancient Greek παρά (pará) + verēdus, perhaps an analogical formation to parhippus from Ancient Greek πάριππος (párippos). Cf. epiraedium (“cart, barrow”), similarly formed of a Greek prefix and a Gaulish root, which may indicate a Gallo-Greek provenance in both cases.
Pronunciation
edit- (Classical Latin) IPA(key): /pa.ra.u̯eˈreː.dus/, [päräu̯ɛˈreːd̪ʊs̠]
- (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): /pa.ra.veˈre.dus/, [päräveˈrɛːd̪us]
Noun
