Latin

Etymology

Alteration of Classical ūrīna, likely by analogy with aurum (“gold”) due to the similarity in colour, perhaps also by contamination from preceding determiners (as in illa urina → *ill' aurina).

Pronunciation

Noun

*aurīna f (Proto-Italo-Western-Romance)

  1. urine

Reconstruction notes

The Occitan variant orina is somewhat anomalous (alongside the expected aurina) and might reflect influence from neighbouring Romance varieties with regular monophthongization of /au̯/.

Declension

singular plural
nominative */au̯ˈrina/ */au̯ˈrinas/
oblique */au̯ˈrina/ */au̯ˈrinas/
