1. dusky, dark
2. uncertain, doubtful, obscure
   • c. 99 BCE – 55 BCE, Lucretius, De rerum natura 5.1296:

     exaequataque sunt creperi certamina belli.

     (please add an English translation of this quotation)

   • 116 BCE – 27 BCE, Marcus Terentius Varro, De Lingua Latina 6.5:

     Secundum hoc dicitur crepusculum a crepero: id vocabulum sumpserunt a Sabinis, unde veniunt Crepusci nominati Amiterno, qui eo tempore erant nati, ut Lucii prima luce in Reatino; crepusculum significat dubium; ab eo res dictae dubiae creperae, quod crepusculum dies etiam nunc sit an iam nox multis dubium.

     • 1938 translation by Roland G. Kent

       In line with this, crepusculum ‘dusk’ is said from creper[um] ‘obscure’; this word they took from the Sabines, from whom come those who were named Crepusci, from Amiternum, who had been born at that time of day, just like the Lucii, who were those born at dawn (prima luce) in the Reatine country. Crepusculum means doubtful: from this doubtful matters are called creperae ‘obscure,’ because dusk is a time when to many it is doubtful whether it is even yet day or is already night.

語形変化

First/second-declension adjective (nominative masculine singular in -er).
