epitogium
Latin
Alternative forms
- epitogum (variant reading)
Etymology
From Ancient Greek ἐπί (epí, “on-”) + toga + -ium (“relative adjective suffix”). In several attestations it's unclear whether the medial i is present, but such a formation built directly on the root without a relative suffix would be unexpected.
Pronunciation
- (Classical) IPA(key): /e.piˈto.ɡi.um/, [ɛpɪˈt̪ɔɡiʊ̃ˑ]
- (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): /e.piˈto.d͡ʒi.um/, [epiˈt̪ɔːd͡ʒium]
Noun
epitogium n (genitive epitogiī or epitogī); second declension
