Usage notes
The nominative singular is attested in the Latin-Greek glossary of Pseudo-Philoxenus, where it is equated to Greek ἄχροος (ákhroos). Most declined forms are unattested except in New Latin texts (such as botanical descriptions), where the declension varies between i-stem and non-i-stem endings. The i-stem endings are given by Short and George 2013.
Declension
Third-declension one-termination adjective (i-stem or non-i-stem).
