+

+ ==Forms==

+ '''spatiōsus''' (feminine spatiōsa, neuter spatiōsum, comparative spatiōsior); first/second-declension adjective^(Wiktionary)

+

+ ==Etymology==

+ It is [[af|la|spatium|-ōsus|t1=space, room]].^(OLD 2012)^(Wiktionary)^(Etymonline) De Vaan finds no secure etymology for [[m|la|spatium]]: a participle meaning “fattened, extended” is possible but cannot be confirmed, and a link with [[m|la|pateō|t=to be open]] is difficult.^(de Vaan 2008)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ Köbler dates it from the ''Moretum'',^(Köbler 2010) which describes a woman's broad, spreading foot.^(OLD 2012)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ It means covering a wide area, extensive, ample or roomy, and with measurements wide, as Columella's spaces between rows not wider than ten feet.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879) Lewis & Short note that it is mostly poetic and post-Augustan and is not found in Cicero.^(Lewis & Short 1879) Vitruvius uses it with nouns of size, Pliny the Younger of an expansive piece of writing, and Seneca's tragedy of Chiron lying in his cave with his great bulk.^(OLD 2012) Of time it means long or protracted, as Ovid's advice never to give anger long time, and of vowels long.^(OLD 2012) Church Latin glosses it spacious, broad, long, large.^(Stelten 1995) English borrowed ''spacious'' in the late 14th century, partly through Old French.^(Etymonline)
