+ ==Pronunciation==

+ * Classical: [kʊpˈpeː.doː]^(Wiktionary)

+ * Ecclesiastical: [kupˈpɛː.do]^(Wiktionary)

+

+ ==Forms==

+ '''cuppēdō''' ''f'' (genitive cuppēdinis); third declension^(Wiktionary)

+ It is also spelled ⟨cūpēdō⟩.^(OLD 2012)^(Conte 2010)

+

+ ==Etymology==

+ The OLD compares [[m|la|cuppēs|t=fond of delicacies]] and [[m|la|cupīdō|t=desire]],^(OLD 2012) and Lewis and Short take it to be at first a collateral form of ⟨cupīdō⟩.^(Lewis & Short 1879) Wiktionary gives both explanations: a formation on ⟨cuppēs⟩, or a variant of ⟨cupīdō⟩ that took on a meaning of its own.^(Wiktionary) De Vaan lists it among the derivatives of [[m|la|cupiō|t=to desire]]; he explains the ⟨ē⟩ of the ⟨cuppēd-⟩ words from [[ine-pro|*kup-eh₁-]] and the double ⟨pp⟩ of ⟨cuppēs⟩ from [[itc-pro|*koup-ēd-|t=gluttonous]].^(de Vaan 2008)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ De Vaan dates it from Varro,^(de Vaan 2008) who in ''De lingua Latina'' names the ''forum cuppedinis'', the market of delicacies, and derives the name from ''fastidium'', while many derived it from ''cupiditas''.^(OLD 2012)^(TLL)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ In the name ''forum cuppedinis'' it means delicacies or a taste for them.^(OLD 2012)^(Georges 1913) A fragment of Varro in Donatus says the market was named after a Numerius Equitius Cuppes who lived there, and Paulus' epitome of Festus says the meat market was once called by this name.^(TLL)^(OLD 2012) Apuleius uses the same name for a market in the Thessalian town of Hypata.^(TLL)^(Georges 1913)

+

+ Lucretius uses it instead in the sense of [[cupīdō]], desire: in his poem things are overcome by a desire for the centre, and the breast burns with dire longing.^(OLD 2012)^(Conte 2010)

+
