Latin

Etymology

Haplologized from *stipipendium, from stips (alms, small payment) (from stipes) and pendere (pay, weigh).

Pronunciation

Generally thought to have a long vowel in the first syllable, despite the short /i/ in the base stips; one potential explanation of this is a change from */ipp/ to /iːp/. However, there is some uncertainty: most occurrences in meter are inconclusive (placing it in an anceps syllable, which was usually long but could be short) except for the case of stīpendium in Ennius, which Michiel de Vaan argues is an example of lengthening metri causa.[1]
