Latin

Alternative forms

• noumen

Etymology

• Could be simply an action noun of *nuō, for *nuimen, from *nuō + -men, thus meaning "a nodding with the head", "a nod", "command", "will" (as nūtus), with the particular meaning of "the divine will", "the will or power of the gods", "divine sway".
• Others suggest the Ancient Greek word νοούμενον (nooúmenon) ("an influence perceptible by mind but not by senses"), from νοέω (noéō), was borrowed into Early Latin as the word noumen, whose spelling changed to numen in Classical Latin.

Pronunciation

• (Classical) IPA^(key): /ˈnuː.men/, [ˈnuːmɛn]
• (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA^(key): /ˈnu.men/, [ˈnuːmen]

Noun

nūmen n (genitive nūminis); third declension

1. a nod of the head
2. divine sway or will
3. divine power or right
4. divinity (Georges Dumézil argues this is a modern meaning and not one from the Classical period, where it was either attributed to particular gods or other entities, such as in numen Cereris or numen dei, or wrongly interpreted)
5. (by extension) fairy

Declension

Third-declension noun (neuter, imparisyllabic non-i-stem).
