cacida

Latin

Etymology

Derived from caca (“faeces”) via a process comparable to the one that resulted in *pippīta < Classical pītuīta. Attested in Tironian notes. The expected spelling of the medial consonant, considering the voicelessness reflected in all the descendants, would have been ⟨cc⟩ not ⟨c⟩.

Noun

cacīda f (genitive cacīdae); first declension (Early Medieval Latin)

  1. rheum (discharge from the corner of one's eye)
