sensatus
Latin
Alternative forms
- sēnsūtus
Etymology
From sēnsus (“faculty of sensation”) + -ātus. The lack of -u- is attributable to the fluctuation between u-stem and o-stem inflectional and derivational patterns that began early in Latin and caused more and more words to shift to o-stem patterns over time.
