+ ==Etymology==

+ It is [[af|la|vīnum|-āceus|t1=wine]].^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879) [[m|la|vīnum|alt=Vīnum]] goes back to [[itc-pro|*wīno-]] and [[ine-pro|*ueih1-(ō)n|t=vine; wine]], an n-stem that de Vaan, following Beekes, takes from the root “to weave, wrap”, the vine being “the weaving one”.^(de Vaan 2008)

+ De Vaan records it first in Cato,^(de Vaan 2008) who uses it as a noun for the refuse of the wine press: ''dolia quo vinacios condat'', “jars to store the grape refuse in”.^(OLD 2012)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ As an adjective it means of or belonging to wine or the grape.^(Lewis & Short 1879)^(Wiktionary) Most often it is a noun: in the plural, or as a feminine singular, the refuse of wine-pressing, the skins and stones, as in Cato, Varro and Columella;^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879) in the neuter, a grape pip, as in Cicero's wonder at the force ''ex acini vinaceo'', “from the pip of a grape”, that produces great trunks and branches.^(OLD 2012) Lewis and Short give it as a grape-stone in Cato and Columella and a grape skin in Varro.^(Lewis & Short 1879) Ecclesiastical Latin also has the neuter as a wine cup.^(Stelten 1995)
