arculata
Latin
[edit]Etymology
[edit]From the neuter plural of an adjective *arculātus, derived from the suffix -ātus added to arculus, arculum, or arcula.
Given the existence of Umbrian 𐌀𐌓𐌜𐌋𐌀𐌕𐌀𐌚 (arçlataf, “a type of sacrificial gift”, acc. pl.), one can even reconstruct Proto-Italic *arkelātos.
Noun
[edit]arculāta n pl (genitive arculātōrum); second declension
- sacrificial cakes.
- 1839 [8th century CE], Paulus Diaconus, edited by Karl Otfried Müller, Excerpta ex libris Pompeii Festi De significatione verborum, page 16, line 9:
- Arculata dicebantur circuli, qui ex farina in sacrificiis fiebant.
