Adjective

IPA: /ˈpriː.mus/ [Classical], [ˈpriːmʊs̠] [Classical], /ˈpri.mus/ (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical), [ˈpriːmus] (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical)
Etymology: From earlier prīsmos, from Proto-Italic *priisemos, a superlative form of the obsolete preposition *pri ~ *prei, related to prae (“before”) (see -issimus for the superlative), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *preh₂- (“before”). Compare prior (“earlier, in front”), the corresponding comparative. Cognate of Oscan promom, Umbrian promom (“first”).
