"color" meaning in Latin

Noun

IPA: /ˈko.lor/ [Classical], [ˈkɔɫ̪ɔr] [Classical], /ˈko.lor/ (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical), [ˈkɔːlor] (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical)
Etymology: From earlier colōs (genitive colōris), from Proto-Italic *kelōs, from Proto-Indo-European *ḱel- (“to hide, conceal”). The nominative singular changed to color in Classical times by analogy with the oblique forms, where /r/ had regularly developed from an original intervocalic /s/.
