Latin[edit]

Pronunciation[edit]

Etymology 1[edit]

Nominalization of the feminine form of -īnus (of or pertaining to). For the nouns naming locations, perhaps compare the feminine gender of taberna (shop, store). Nouns in -īna with abstract senses, such as medicīna f (practice of medicine), can be interpreted as adjectives in agreement with a noun ars f (art) that is omitted by ellipsis.[1]

Suffix[edit]

-īna f (genitive -īnae); first declension

  1. Used to form nouns describing places where a certain activity is carried out, or abstract nouns naming activities[1]
    opifex (worker, craftsman, artisan) + ‎-īna → ‎officīna (workshop, workroom)
    coquus (cook) + ‎-īna → ‎coquīna (kitchen; cookery)
    fodiō (to dig) + ‎-īna → ‎fodīna (mine)
    medicus (doctor, physician) + ‎-īna → ‎medicīna (medicine; cure; practice of medicine)
  2. Used to form nouns or names denoting female beings
    gallus (rooster, cock) + ‎-īna → ‎gallīna (hen)
    cloāca (sewer) + ‎-īna → ‎Cloācīna (goddess of the Cloaca Maxima)
Usage notes[edit]

Nouns in -īna often show syncope of an internal syllable preceding the suffix, as in doctor, doctrīna; figulus (potter), figlīna (potter's workshop); opifex (craftsman, artisan, worker), officīna (workshop); and discipulus, disciplīna. Some have alternative forms without syncope, sometimes attested specifically in the context of Old Latin, such as discipulīna and opificīna (found in Plautus). Many nouns in -īna are built on nouns that serve as the name of professions or occupations, including a number of formations in -trīna from agent nouns in -tor.
