rubrico
See also: rubricó
Latin
Etymology
From rūbrīca (“red ochre”) + -ō (verb-forming suffix). When scanned as rŭbrĭcō, perhaps reanalyzed or recomposed as ruber (“red”) + -icō (verb-forming suffix); compare albicō (“to make white, whiten”) from albus (“white”) + -icō.
Pronunciation
- (Classical) IPA(key): /ruːˈbriː.koː/, [ruːˈbriːkoː]
- (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): /ruˈbri.ko/, [ruˈbriːko]
- If derived from rūbrīca, as it appears to be, the vowels in the first two syllables should both be long. Hoewever, in the sixth-century poet Venantius Fortunatus, the first two syllables scan short (as rŭbrĭc-), possibly due to influence from the ŭ in the related words ruber (“red”) and rubeō (“to be red”) and the ĭ in the ending -ĭcō found in verbs such as albicō and amāricō. (Compare the use in Italian of a "less correct" pronunciation io rùbrico in addition to io rubrìco for the verb rubricare.[1])
Verb
rūbrīcō (present infinitive rūbrīcāre, perfect active rūbrīcāvī, supine rūbrīcātum); first conjugation (uncommon)
