different between colloquial vs familia

English

Etymology

1751, from earlier term colloquy (“a conversation”), from Latin colloquium (“conference, conversation”), from con- (“together”) + loquor (“to speak”), + -al.

Pronunciation

• (Received Pronunciation) IPA^(key): /k??l??.kw??l/
• (General American) IPA^(key): /k??lo?.kwi.?l/
• Hyphenation: col?lo?qui?al

Adjective

colloquial (comparative more colloquial, superlative most colloquial)

1. (linguistics) Denoting a manner of speaking or writing that is characteristic of familiar conversation, of common parlance; informal.

2. Of or pertaining to a conversation; conversational or chatty.

Usage notes

It is a common misconception that colloquial somehow denotes "local" or a word being "regional". This is not the case; the word root for colloquial is related to locution, not location. A more appropriate word for describing "local" or "regional" language is vernacular.

Note that while colloquy and colloquium refer to formal conversation, colloquial refers instead specifically to informal conversation.

Latin

Etymology

From Proto-Italic *famelj? (“of the house ? household”). In view of the semantic shift illustrated in the cognates, famulus (“servant, slave”) (with Oscan ???????????????????? (famel, “servile”)) is probably a backformation from it and not the other way around. From Proto-Indo-European *d?h?-m-eló-m (“fundament”), from *d?eh?- (“to do, put, place”). Cognate to Sanskrit ????? (dh?man, “order; dwelling-place, temple; family”), Ancient Greek ???????? (themélios, “of the foundation”), ????? (thémis, “justice, law”).

Pronunciation

• (Classical) IPA^(key): /fa?mi.li.a/, [fä?m?liä]
• (Ecclesiastical) IPA^(key): /fa?mi.li.a/, [f??mi?li?]

Noun

familia f (genitive familiae); first declension

2. the slaves of a household, servants
3. a group of slaves stationed in one place; a brigade, gang (used for some purpose)
   1. one's personal retinue
4. a family, kin (a group of people closely related to one another)

   Synonym: domus
5. an intellectual school (eg. of philosophy)

   Synonym: domus

6. (law) an estate (sometimes distinct from pec?nia and possibly restricted to r?s mancip?)

Usage notes

According to Richard Saller, “[f]amilia was never used to mean ‘father, mother and children’ in our sense of ‘family’ today. It did have a technical, legal usage akin to ‘family’, but in common parlance most often meant ‘slave staff’, exclusive of the master's family.... The usual word for ‘family’ in the classical period was domus, which carried the general sense of ‘household’ including domestic slaves.”

Declension

First-declension noun.

The older genitive singular famili?s is frequent in pater famili?s, as well as with f?lius, m?ter, and f?lia.
