+ '''inhumātus''' (feminine inhumāta, neuter inhumātum); first/second-declension adjective^(Wiktionary)

+

+ ==Etymology==

+ It is [[af|la|in-|humātus|t1=not|t2=buried]], the negative of the participle of [[m|la|humō|t=to bury]].^(OLD 2012)^(Wiktionary)^(TLL) De Vaan derives [[m|la|humō]] from [[m|la|humus|t=earth, ground]], which goes back to [[itc-pro|*χomo-]] and [[ine-pro|*dʰǵʰ-ōm|t=earth]].^(de Vaan 2008)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ The TLL and de Vaan find it first in Pacuvius,^(TLL)^(de Vaan 2008) who has the genitive plural ⟨inhumatum⟩ in ''ossuum inhumatum aestuosam aulam'', “a seething hall of unburied bones”.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ The TLL records it in Pacuvius, in Varro, who took it from pontifical usage, and then in Cicero, Lucretius and Virgil.^(TLL) Cicero uses it of a man who lay thrown out unburied, and Virgil of unburied bodies.^(Lewis & Short 1879) A gloss renders it by ''insepultus''.^(TLL) Stelten gives “unburied” for Church Latin.^(Stelten 1995)
