-turus

Latin Etymology la :af<unc> ine-pro:*-tus ine-pro:*-rós Possibly derived ultimately from a form of la ine-pro *-tus (found in the supine suffix la -tum, la -tū) followed by la ine-pro *-rós adjective-forming suffix. The suffix itc-pro *-tūro- is only attested in Latin, so its creation may postdate Proto-Italic.Fortson Benjamin W. IV. 2007 The origin of the Latin future active participle Verba Docenti: Studies in Historical and Indo-European Linguistics Presented to Jay H.

Fortson mentions and rejects the alternative etymologies deriving it from the agent noun suffix la -tor -tōr-, or from the supine followed by a lost infinitive itc-pro *esom (with an assumed development from itc-pro *-tū *esom to itc-pro *-tūrom, followed by reanalysis as an adjective). Pronunciation tūrus Suffix la suffix inflectional suffixes -tūrus ending of the future active participle Usage notes Usually formed on the same stem as the supine and perfect passive participle/perfect active participle. However, a small number of verbs show distinct stems (e.g. la morior, perfect active participle la mortuus, future active participle la moritūrus). Declension -tūrus References
