"etymology_text": "From the same root as modus m (“measure, manner”), but not directly derived from this noun, which declines in Latin as a masculine o-stem. The form modestus is made up of components derived from Proto-Indo-European *med- (“to measure”) + *-os (noun-forming suffix) + *-tós (adjective-forming suffix) (Classical Latin -tus); this implies the existence at some point of a neuter s-stem noun (also indirectly attested by the -er- found in moderor). Compare scelestus, derived from the s-stem noun scelus n (or an ancestral form of it).",
