Etymology 1

Participle

serta

  1. inflection of sertus:
    1. nominative/vocative feminine singular
    2. nominative/accusative/vocative neuter plural

Participle

sertā

  1. ablative feminine singular of sertus

Etymology 2

From sertus (bound; encircled), from serō (to bind; to encircle); the feminine variant likely originates from reanalysis of the neuter plural, in light of the neuter being expected for substantivised participles referring to inanimate objects (with the feminine instead typically reserved for abstract concepts).

  1. (chiefly plural only in the neuter) garland; festoon; wreath of flowers
