noscum
Latin
Etymology
From nōs (“us”, accusative) + -cum (“with”), remodelled from or simply replacing the Classical equivalent nōbīscum which was based on nōbīs (“us”, ablative). The trend in the late vernacular was for the accusative case to be used with all prepositions. Cf. vōscum.
Adverb
nōscum (not comparable) (Late Latin, proscribed)
- Alternative form of nōbīscum (“with us”)
- 3rd–4th century, Appendix Probi, line 220:
- nobiscum non noscum
- [The correct form is] nobiscum, not noscum
