Adjective

*exsapidus (feminine *exsapida, neuter *exsapidum); first/second-declension adjective (Proto-Italo-Western-Romance)

  1. tasteless

Reconstruction notes

Coromines explains the Iberian forms as deriving from an assumed *insapidus, positing a Mozarabic intermediary to explain the palatalization to /ʃ/, but this is unnecessary in light of the Italian forms and the Iberian outcomes of, for instance, exāmen or *exaquāre.
