Found in post-Classical and later Latin, as a singular of the Classical altāria, the plural of altāre (which was mostly used as the plural). Ultimately a derivative of altus (“fed”), given the notion that altars were where sacrificial fires were "fed" by offerings. See also other forms altar and altāre.
Second-declension noun (neuter).
Found in older Latin (until the Augustan Age).
altārium
