-ellus

出典:『Wiktionary』 (2026/06/21 18:24 UTC 版)


語源

    By rebracketing of diminutives such as libellus (liber +‎ -lus) or fēmella (fēmina +‎ -la), where the stem consonants -n- and -r- shifted to -l- by regressive assimilation; also from diminutives of diminutives such as porcellus (porculus +‎ -lus). The vowel -e- appears because the diminutive suffix -ulus descends from older *-elos. Proto-Italic *e was retracted and rounded to pre-Latin -o- when followed by single *l + a vowel other than *i, and pre-Latin -o- was reduced to Latin -u- in non-initial syllables, causing a change of *-elos to *-olos to -ulus. However, retraction did not affect *e before 'exilis' double *ll: hence, *e was retained in -ellus.

    発音

    接尾辞

    -ellus (feminine -ella, neuter -ellum); first/second-declension suffix

    1. alternative form of -ulus
      ‎ager + ‎-ellus → ‎agrellus (“little field”) (compare this to agellus, which is from ager +‎ -lus)

    使用する際の注意点

    The suffix -ellus is added to a noun to form a diminutive of that noun.

    ‎calamus (“reed”) + ‎-ellus → ‎calamellus (“little reed or pen”)

    When added to an adjective, it forms a diminutive of that adjective.

    ‎hirtus (“hairy”) + ‎-ellus → ‎hirtellus (“slightly hairy”)
