rumusculusとは意味・読み方・使い方

語源

From rūmor (“gossip; rumor”) + -culus (diminutive-forming suffix). (Like other abstract nouns ending in the suffix -or m, the word rūmor originally had a nominative form ending in *-ōs and an oblique stem ending in *-os-: the form rūmusculus would be regular as the outcome of the original oblique stem. However, rūmusculus is attested earliest in Cicero, who probably used the innovative nominative form rūmor, and certainly used the innovative oblique stem rūmōr-. Therefore, the ending -usculus in this word may instead have been taken by analogy from older diminutives that followed the original pattern: e.g., arbuscula (“a small tree”), from arbor or meliusculus (“a little better”) from melior, melius, meliōr- (“better”) and other diminutives of comparative words).
