"classis" meaning in Latin

See classis in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: [ˈkɫas.sɪs] [Classical-Latin], [ˈklas.sis] (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical)
Etymology: From Proto-Italic *klāssis, from Proto-Indo-European *klh₁-d⁽ʰ⁾-ti- (“a call”), from *kelh₁- (“to call, shout”). Cognate with Latin calō, clāmō, clārus, concilium, Ancient Greek καλέω (kaléō). De Vaan notes that simplification of the Proto-Italic *-ss- would be expected following long *-ā-. He suggests that, semantically, the term evolved from referring to a “calling out” to a “class of soldiers being called out” to a “social class.” Etymology templates: {{root|la|ine-pro|*kelh₁-}}, {{inh|la|itc-pro||*klāssis}} Proto-Italic *klāssis, {{inh|la|ine-pro||*klh₁-d⁽ʰ⁾-ti-|t=a call}} Proto-Indo-European *klh₁-d⁽ʰ⁾-ti- (“a call”), {{cog|la|calō}} Latin calō, {{cog|grc|καλέω}} Ancient Greek καλέω (kaléō) Head templates: {{la-noun|classis<3.abl-e-occ-i>|g=f}} classis f (genitive classis); third declension Inflection templates: {{la-ndecl|classis<3.abl-e-occ-i>}} Forms: classis [genitive], no-table-tags [table-tags], classis [nominative, singular], classēs [nominative, plural], classis [genitive, singular], classium [genitive, plural], classī [dative, singular], classibus [dative, plural], classem [accusative, singular], classēs [accusative, plural], classīs [accusative, plural], classe [ablative, singular], classī [ablative, singular], classibus [ablative, plural], classis [singular, vocative], classēs [plural, vocative]

Cognate with Latin calō, clāmō, clārus, concilium, Ancient Greek καλέω (kaléō). De Vaan notes that simplification of the Proto-Italic *-ss- would be expected following long *-ā-. He suggests that, semantically, the term evolved from referring to a “calling out” to a “class of soldiers being called out” to a “social class.”",
