"Orcinus" meaning in Latin

See Orcinus in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Adjective

IPA: /orˈkiː.nus/ [Classical-Latin], [ɔrˈkiːnʊs̠] [Classical-Latin], /orˈt͡ʃi.nus/ (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical), [orˈt͡ʃiːnus] (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical)
Etymology: From Orcus (the underworld) + -īnus (adjective forming suffix). The term was used satirically to refer to senators placed into power by a decree written by Julius Caesar but only read by Mark Antony after the former's death. The joke referred to the fact that these politicians only rose to power through the will of a dead man, someone who belongs to the underworld.
