"fortis" meaning in Latin

See fortis in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Adjective

IPA: [ˈfɔr.tɪs] [Classical-Latin], [ˈfɔr.tis] (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical)
Etymology: From Old Latin forctis, from Proto-Italic *forktis, from Proto-Indo-European *bʰerǵʰ- (“to rise, high, hill”) (> Proto-Indo-European *bʰérǵʰ-ti-s) or Proto-Indo-European *dʰerǵʰ- (“to bind fast, to be firm, strong”); in the latter case, an earlier Proto-Italic form of the word *θorktis can be reconstructed.
