Proto-Italic

Etymology

    Shows clear influence from the o-stem masculine ablative singular ending -ōd, and possibly the adverb suffix could be an ablaut variant thereof. Alternatively, it might be possible to derive the suffix from Proto-Indo-European *-eh₁ (instrumental ending) with the -d secondarily gained via the influence of the ablative ending.[1]

    Suffix

    *-ēd

    1. forms adverbs from o/ā-stem adjectives: -ly
      ‎*proβwos (“correct”) + ‎*-ēd → ‎*proβwēd (“correctly”)

    Descendants

    • Latin: -ēd (Old Latin), -ē (Classical Latin)
    • Osco-Umbrian:
      • Oscan: -id
      • Umbrian: -𐌄 (-e)
