Latin
Etymology 1
Unknown, likely a borrowing from an unidentified source.
Compare Old High German linsa, Lithuanian l?šis, Old Church Slavonic ???? (l?šta), and Albanian lend (Proto-Albanian *lenta), sounding too similar for a coincidence, however different enough to prohibit reconstruction of a common PIE protoform. May also be related to Ancient Greek ??????? (láthuros).
If ultimately a non-IE loanword, locating the source is virtually impossible because cultivation of lentil was widespread in the region since the Neolithic.
Pronunciation
- (Classical) IPA(key): /lens/, [????s?]
- (Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): /lens/, [l?ns]
Noun
l?ns f (genitive lentis); third declension
- lentil
- (Medieval Latin) lens
Declension
Third-declension noun (i-stem, accusative singular in -em or -im, ablative singular in -e or -?).
Derived terms
