rubrico

From Wiktionary, the free dictionary
See also: rubricó

Latin

[edit]

Etymology

[edit]

From rūbrīca (red ochre) +‎ (verb-forming suffix). When scanned as rŭbrĭcō, perhaps reanalyzed or recomposed as ruber (red) +‎ -icō (verb-forming suffix); compare albicō (to make white, whiten) from albus (white) +‎ -icō.

Pronunciation

[edit]
  • (Classical Latin) IPA(key): /ruːˈbriː.koː/, [ruːˈbriːkoː]
  • (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): /ruˈbri.ko/, [ruˈbriːko]
  • If derived from rūbrīca, as it appears to be, the vowels in the first two syllables should both be long. Hoewever, in the sixth-century poet Venantius Fortunatus, the first two syllables scan short (as rŭbrĭc-), possibly due to influence from the ŭ in the related words ruber (red) and rubeō (to be red) and the ĭ in the ending -ĭcō found in verbs such as albicō and amāricō. (Compare the use in Italian of a "less correct" pronunciation io rùbrico in addition to io rubrìco for the verb rubricare.[1])

Verb

[edit]

rūbrīcō (present infinitive rūbrīcāre, perfect active rūbrīcāvī, supine rūbrīcātum); first conjugation (uncommon)

  1. to color red
