+ It is formed [[af|la|cōnsul|-āris|t1=consul]].^(OLD 2012)^(Wiktionary)^(Köbler 2010)
+

+ Köbler dates it from Cicero,^(Köbler 2010) who speaks of witnesses deterred ''cōnsulārī metū'', “by fear of a consul”, and of a man ''cuius quattuor fīliī cōnsulārēs fuērunt'', “whose four sons were ex-consuls”.^(OLD 2012)
