+

+ ==Pronunciation==

+ * Classical: [kɔ.roːlˈlaː.ri.ũː]^(Wiktionary)

+ * Ecclesiastical: [ko.rolˈlaː.ri.um]^(Wiktionary)

+

+ ==Forms==

+ '''corōllārium''' ''n'' (genitive corōllāriī or corōllārī); second declension^(Wiktionary)

+

+ ==Etymology==

+ It is [[af|la|corōlla|-ārium|t1=small garland]].^(OLD 2012)^(Wiktionary)^(Georges 1913) That noun is a diminutive of [[m|la|corōna|t=crown, garland]].^(Etymonline)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ Köbler records it first in Cicero,^(Köbler 2010) meaning a gratuity: he describes a man at a dinner who, like an entertaining performer unwilling to leave without his tip, had the decorations stripped from the silver.^(Lewis & Short 1879)^(Conte 2010)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ Pliny the Elder explains that the name was first given to garlands made of thin gilded or silvered bronze, given as rewards,^(OLD 2012)^(Georges 1913) and Georges notes that money or other valuables later took their place.^(Georges 1913) Varro defines it as something added beyond what is owed,^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879) and Phaedrus, Seneca and Petronius use it of a gift or extra payment.^(Lewis & Short 1879)^(Georges 1913) Gellius uses it of a small garland.^(Georges 1913)

+

+ In later philosophical writing, as in Boethius, it became a [[m|en|corollary]], a further conclusion drawn from what has been proved.^(Lewis & Short 1879)^(Georges 1913) Medieval writers in Britain use it both of a gratuity and, in geometry and logic, of a corollary, often spelled ''corelarium'' or ''correlarium''.^(DMLBS) English borrowed the logical sense in the late 14th century.^(Etymonline)
