+ '''cōnsiliārius''' (feminine cōnsiliāria, neuter cōnsiliārium); first/second-declension adjective^(Wiktionary)

+ As a noun it is masculine, genitive ''cōnsiliāriī'', second declension.^(OLD 2012)^(Wiktionary)

+

+ ==Etymology==

+ It is [[af|la|cōnsilium|-ārius|t1=counsel, deliberation]].^(OLD 2012)^(Wiktionary) De Vaan derives the noun from [[m|la|cōnsul]] and takes the verb [[m|la|cōnsulō|t=to deliberate, consult]] as the oldest member of the group; it goes back to [[itc-pro|*kom-se/ol-e/o-|t=to consult]], perhaps from [[ine-pro|*s(e)lh₁-e/o-|t=to take]].^(de Vaan 2008)

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ The adjective is first found in Plautus, who has ''magis cōnsiliārius … amīcus quam auxiliārius'', “a friend who gives advice rather than help”;^(Lewis & Short 1879)^(TLL)^(Georges 1913) Köbler records the noun first in Cicero.^(Köbler 2010)
