Latin
Etymology
Formed as a present participle of sum (“to be”) in Medieval Latin (and therefore unknown in the Classical period) by using the bare present participial ending -?ns of second and third conjugation verbs, as an analogy to the Ancient Greek present participle ?? (?n) which falsely appears to be the same bare suffix but etymologically corresponds to s?ns, both from *h?es- (“to be”). See also essentia for a similar formation.
The original present participle s?ns had taken on the meaning "guilty" in the Classical period, but the still productive combining form -s?ns present in the verbs absum (abs?ns (“absent”)) and praesum (praes?ns (“present”)) was ignored in creating this form.
