cunctorとは 意味・読み方・使い方

語源

Perhaps a denominative in -ō from an unattested adjective or participle, Proto-Italic *konkitos (“hanging”), from Proto-Indo-European *ḱenk- (“to hang”). Alternatively, it may have emerged from a pre-form *cuncitō, itself possibly an iterative from earlier *konk-e/ō-, which may derive from Proto-Indo-European *ḱonk-éye-ti, a causative from the root *ḱenk- (“to hang”). This same causative form may also be the source of Proto-Germanic *hangijaną.

Cognate with English hang.

発音

• (Classical Latin) IPA: [ˈkuːŋk.tɔr], [ˈkʊŋk.tɔr]
• (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA: [ˈkuŋk.t̪or]

Note: the length of the root vowel is uncertain; length is regular before /nkt/, but this may depend on whether the lengthening happened before the syncope; compare the same uncertainity in the unrelated adjective cū̆nctus.
