Latin extrēus

(Notifying Metaknowledge, Fay Freak, Brutal Russian, JohnC5): Claimed to be a variant of exter. I think it's maybe a typo for extrēmus. Added by @DCDuring. Benwing2 (talk) 04:17, 20 July 2019 (UTC)

Note that there is an entry extreus in Charles du Fresne du Cange’s Glossarium Mediæ et Infimæ Latinitatis (augmented edition with additions by D. P. Carpenterius, Adelungius and others, edited by Léopold Favre, 1883–1887) with a rather different meaning.  --Lambiam 06:24, 20 July 2019 (UTC)

Even for Medieval Latin this seems morphologically implausible. Fay Freak (talk) 11:27, 20 July 2019 (UTC)

Entered from a "Wanted page" that was about to be deleted. DCDuring (talk) 12:16, 20 July 2019 (UTC)

@Lambiam I'd like to fix this entry. Per Du Cange, is this a noun? What does "Abortivus, qui de exercitio ejicitur extra" mean exactly? It looks something like "Premature birth, which is pushed out due to exertion". Is that right? Benwing2 (talk) 00:38, 23 July 2019 (UTC)

If I interpret du Cange’s entry correctly, he is copying this from the dictionary by Papias. Since abortivus is an adjective, I guess the entry implies that extreus is also one. I’d translate the defn. as “Delivered prematurely, that which is cast outside by exercise”. Note that du Cange thinks this line is corrupt, as he adds that excercitio is “strongly to be read” as exsicio or excicio – which I in turn suppose is to be read as excisio (“excision”). The reference to the entry encimum suggests murder rather than C section. Disclaimer: My proficiency in Latin has not progressed beyond what I learned 60 years ago in Latin school.  --Lambiam 07:10, 23 July 2019 (UTC)

In a list of remarks from 1870 by one Anton Miller on a glossary contained in the Codex latinus 6210 (Bavarian State Library) we find the form Extrea (presumably occurring in the glossary), with a reference to Papias. This strengthens the supposition that we are dealing with an adjective.  --Lambiam 13:47, 23 July 2019 (UTC)

@Lambiam Thanks; I've tried to fix the entry. Benwing2 (talk) 04:46, 25 July 2019 (UTC)
