Dutch
Etymology
Borrowed from Latin v?rus. Coined in the virological sense by Martinus Beijerinck; the word had been previously used for pathogens, although not for viruses in the modern sense. The computing sense derives from English virus.

- IPA(key): /?vi?.r?s/
- Hyphenation: vi?rus
Noun
virus n (plural virussen, diminutive virusje n)
- (microbiology) virus, microscopic germ type

Usage notes
Like most Latin borrowings, this word kept its original Latin gender (neuter); it is one of the few Dutch words ending in -us which is not masculine; cf. also corpus and opus. Marginally, use as a masculine noun is sometimes erroneously encountered, indeed based on the ending.

Latin
Etymology
Via rhotacism from Proto-Italic *weizos, from Proto-Indo-European *wisós (“fluidity, slime, poison”). Cognates include Sanskrit ??? (vi?á), Ancient Greek ??? (iós), from an older form ????? : wisós; Tocharian B wase, and Middle Irish fí. The neuter gender of this term despite its nominative singular ending in the masculine second-declension -us is a relic of this term's inheritance from a neuter s-stem.

- (Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): /?vi.rus/, [?vi??us]

Declension
Second-declension noun (neuter, nominative/accusative/vocative in -us), singular only.
- There is also the heteroclitic genitive singular v?r?s.
- When used in modern biology with the same meaning of English virus, a plural can be formed using the same suffixes of regular neuters of the 2nd. declension (i.e., v?ra, v?r?rum, v?r?s, v?ra, v?r?s, v?ra):
Second-declension noun (neuter, nominative/accusative/vocative plural in -a).
