familia f (plural families)
LatinEdit
EtymologyEdit
From Proto-Italic *fameljā (“of the house → household”). In view of the semantic shift illustrated in the cognates, famulus (“servant, slave”) (with Oscan 𐌚𐌀𐌌𐌄𐌋 (famel, “servile”)) is probably a backformation from it and not the other way around. From Proto-Indo-European *dʰh₁-m-eló-m (“fundament”), from *dʰeh₁- (“to do, put, place”). Cognate with Sanskrit धामन् (dhāman, “order; dwelling-place, temple; family”), Ancient Greek θεμέλιος (themélios, “of the foundation”), θέμις (thémis, “justice, law”).
PronunciationEdit

Usage notesEdit
According to Richard Saller, “[f]amilia was never used to mean ‘father, mother and children’ in our sense of ‘family’ today. It did have a technical, legal usage akin to ‘family’, but in common parlance most often meant ‘slave staff’, exclusive of the master's family.... The usual word for ‘family’ in the classical period was domus, which carried the general sense of ‘household’ including domestic slaves.”[1]
DeclensionEdit
First-declension noun.
Case | Singular | Plural |
---|---|---|
Nominative | familia | familiae |
Genitive | familiae | familiārum |
Dative | familiae | familiīs |
Accusative | familiam | familiās |
Ablative | familiā | familiīs |
Vocative | familia | familiae |
The older genitive singular familiās is frequent in the expression pater familiās and the similar expressions with fīlius, māter, and fīlia as the first element.
