"tetricus" meaning in All languages combined

See tetricus on Wiktionary

Adjective [Latin]

IPA: /ˈte.tri.kus/ [Classical], [ˈt̪ɛt̪rɪkʊs̠] [Classical], /ˈtet.ri.kus/ [Classical], [ˈt̪ɛt̪rɪkʊs̠] [Classical], /ˈte.tri.kus/ (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical), [ˈt̪ɛːt̪rikus] (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical), /ˈtet.ri.kus/ (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical), [ˈt̪ɛt̪rikus] (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical)
Etymology: Unknown. The hypothesis presented by Lewis and Short that it is from taeter (“foul, repulsive”) seems to be based on the assumption that this word shows monophthongization of an original diphthong ae to the long vowel ē, but that is contradicted by a number of examples of the first syllable scanning short in poetry.
