"calcareus" meaning in Latin

See calcareus in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Adjective

IPA: [kaɫˈkaː.re.ʊs] [Classical-Latin], [kalˈkaː.re.us] (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical)
Etymology: Misspelling of Classical Latin calcārius (“pertaining to lime”), from calx (“limestone, lime, chalk”) + -ārius. The spelling with -eus could have been influenced by the distinct suffix -eus, or it could simply be a result of the homophony of -ius and -eus in some pronunciation styles.
