Latin
Etymology
From the neuter plural of an adjective *arculātus, derived from the suffix -ātus added to arculus, arculum, or arcula.
Given the existence of Umbrian 𐌀𐌓𐌜𐌋𐌀𐌕𐌀𐌚 (arçlataf, “a type of sacrificial gift”, acc. pl.), one can even reconstruct Proto-Italic *arkelātos.
Noun
arculāta n pl (genitive arculātōrum); second declension
- sacrificial cakes.
Declension
Second-declension noun (neuter), plural only.
