anclume

Old French

Etymology

From Vulgar Latin *inclūminem,[1] ultimately from Latin incūs, incūdem f. The Old French ending -ume is phonetically derived from earlier *-ūminem, representing an analogical merger of the Latin noun endings -(ū)men n and -(t)ūdinem (the accusative form of -tūdō f). The ending *-ūminem is also attested by Spanish -umbre, -dumbre. Compare custume/coustume f, from Vulgar Latin *cōns(uē)tūminem, analogically altered from cōnsuētūdinem.

Noun

anclume oblique singular, f (oblique plural anclumes, nominative singular anclume, nominative plural anclumes)
