iuventaとは 意味・読み方・使い方

語源

Uncertain. The term could be compared with Gothic 𐌾𐌿𐌽𐌳𐌰𐌹 (jundai) and Sanskrit युवता (yuvatā, “youth, youthfulness”) and perhaps derive from Proto-Italic *juwentā, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂yuh₁n̥téh₂, itself from *h₂yéwHō. Otherwise, in Latin, the sequence -VṷV̆C- evolves into -VṷC- (Compare *prowidens > *proudens > prūdens). However, this issue could be resolved if this rule did not affect the sequence -ŭṷV̆C-.

See also iuventūs and iuventās.
