Potusとは 意味・読み方・使い方

語源 1

Ultimately from the root Proto-Indo-European *peh₃-. De Vaan reconstructs Proto-Italic *pōtos (“drunk”) from Proto-Indo-European *ph₃tós (“(having been) drunk; having drunk”) with replacement of expected *-a- by *-ō- under the influence of the root aorist *péh₃t. Possibly cognate with Umbrian punes, which could come from a pre-form *pō-ni-.

Aside from its use as an adjective, pōtus also functions synchronically in Latin as an anomalously formed perfect passive participle of the verb pōtō (“to drink”), competing with the regularly formed pōtātus.

     Some [go] by foot, some even sail down with a swift skiff; and be not ashamed – having drained [many cups] – to return home from there.
