Latin
Etymology
According to LIV, from Proto-Indo-European *snewbʰ- (“to marry, to wed”).[1] Ernout and Meillet instead connect this word with nūbēs (“cloud”), from PIE *(s)newdʰ- (“to cover”).[2] De Vaan finds this semantically attractive but morphologically difficult: if the supine stem is old it cannot reflect stem-final *dʰ.[3]
The vowel in the first syllable of the supine stem is marked long by Lewis (1891) and Bennett (1907)[4], but De Vaan (2008) implies that it is short by omitting a macron, and Wartburg (1928–2002) and Bienvenu (1965) explicitly mark ŭ as short in the derived word nuptiae.[5][6] A short vowel in the supine stem would match the old ablaut-based pattern seen in dūcō, dūxī, ductum; on the other hand, a long vowel could have been introduced by analogy with the present stem, perfect stem, or both (as in scrībō, scrīpsī, scrīptum).
Possibly cognate with Ancient Greek νύμφη (númphē, “bride, young wife, nymph”) (English nymph), but this is disputed.
Pronunciation
