we don't define publicus as public man, it's absurd to define publica as public woman, so I changed it to public. This other definition comes from an article slamming the new group propublica as 'dog latin', but it is clear from the phrase res publica, that the feminine ending is being used for the word for public/people.

all the latin dictionaries I've checked lack this 'public woman' definition, but some say 'state' or 'people'.Iṣṭa Devatā (talk) 20:48, 28 October 2016 (UTC)Reply
