Verb

natus

  1. conditional of natar

Latin

Pronunciation

Etymology 1

    Perfect active participle of nāscor (“I am born”). From older gnātus, from Proto-Italic *gnātos, from Proto-Indo-European *ǵn̥h₁tós (“produced, given birth”), from *ǵenh₁- (“to produce, give birth, beget”). The form genitus (used as the perfect passive participle of gignō) is a later creation, and forms a doublet.
