Latin

Etymology

From Proto-Indo-European *-tus + -d- + *-h₃onh₂-. Compare Ancient Greek -σῠ́νη (-súnē) and -δών (-dṓn).

Pronunciation

(Classical) IPA^(key): /ˈtuː.doː/

(Ecclesiastical) IPA^(key): /ˈtu.do/, [ˈtuː.do]

Suffix

-tūdō f (genitive -tūdinis); third declension

-itude, -ness; used to form abstract nouns indicating a state or condition.

Usage notes

The suffix -tūdō is added to an adjective to form an abstract third declension feminine noun indicating a state or condition.

Examples:

magnitūdō (“greatness”), from magnus (“great”)
mollitūdō (“softness”), from mollis (“soft”)

The related suffix -dō also forms abstract nouns of state, but is added to verb or participle stems. The resulting nouns often end in -tūdō as a result of the verb stem interaction with -dō.
