Pronunciation
- (Classical Latin) IPA(key): /ˈiː.na/, [ˈiːnä]
- (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): /ˈi.na/, [ˈiːnä]
Etymology 1
Nominalization of the feminine form of -īnus (“of or pertaining to”). For the nouns naming locations, perhaps compare the feminine gender of taberna (“shop, store”). Nouns in -īna with abstract senses, such as medicīna f (“practice of medicine”), can be interpreted as adjectives in agreement with a noun ars f (“art”) that is omitted by ellipsis.[1]
Suffix
-īna f (genitive -īnae); first declension
- Used to form nouns describing places where a certain activity is carried out, or abstract nouns naming activities[1]
- Used to form nouns or names denoting female beings
Usage notes
Nouns in -īna often show syncope of an internal syllable preceding the suffix, as in doctor, doctrīna; figulus (“potter”), figlīna (“potter's workshop”); opifex (“craftsman, artisan, worker”), officīna (“workshop”); and discipulus, disciplīna. Some have alternative forms without syncope, sometimes attested specifically in the context of Old Latin, such as discipulīna and opificīna (found in Plautus). Many nouns in -īna are built on nouns that serve as the name of professions or occupations, including a number of formations in -trīna from agent nouns in -tor.
Declension
First-declension noun.
