Definitions and meaning of cuspis

cuspis

Etymology

Borrowed from Latin cuspis.

Noun

cuspis (plural cuspes)

  1. A point; a sharp end.

Galician

Verb

cuspis

  1. (reintegrationist norm) second-person plural present indicative of cuspir

Latin

Etymology

Unknown origin. Possibly from an earlier *kuri-spid-, a compound of curis (“Alternative form of quiris (“spear”)”) + a proto-Italic noun *spis (“lance”); the latter would be from Proto-Indo-European *spey- (“sharp point”), and related to Latvian spina and Russian спина (spina). However, dvandva compounds are quite abnormal within Latin, in addition to curis possibly being from the same unknown origin as cuspis to begin with.

  1. point, tip (of a pointed object)
