Etymology edit
From Proto-Indo-European *h₁rewdʰ- (“red”), the same root as ruber (“red”). Per Nussbaum, the Classical Latin form rūbrīca is the nominalized feminine form of a first/second declension adjective whose older form can be reconstructed as *rou̯brīk(u̯)o-, from *h₁re/owdʰri-h₃kʷ-o-, formed as a compound of an i-stem noun *h₁re/owdʰri- and the zero grade of the Proto-Indo-European root *h₃ekʷ- (“eye; to see”).[1]
Pronunciation edit
- (Classical) IPA(key): /ruːˈbriː.ka/, [ruːˈbriːkä]
- (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): /ruˈbri.ka/, [ruˈbriːkä]
- The long vowel in the first syllable is attested in Plautus Truculentus 294 (a poet who does not regularly allow word-medial br to make position after a short vowel) as well as in other occurrences in verse.[2]
