Noun

IPA: /ˈmo.dus/ [Classical], [ˈmɔd̪ʊs̠] [Classical], /ˈmo.dus/ (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical), [ˈmɔːd̪us] (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical)
Etymology: From Proto-Italic *modos, from Proto-Indo-European *mod-ós (“measure”), from *med- (“to measure”). But note as the oblique cases would be expected as *moder- (e.g. gen.: moderis), thus moderor, modestus etc. Contrast mōs for the senses of manner and way.
