Word origin

First attested in 1589; borrowed from Latin geminātus, perfect passive participle of geminō (“to double”), see -ate (etymology 1,2 and 3).

Used in a sentence

  • Near-synonyms: paired, doubled, twinned
  • The attested forms show variation in the unstressed vowels (Srd. lèppere, lèpporo, lèppore, léppuri etc.) but agree on the labial geminate. We can thus reconstruct *leppVr-.
