+ ==Pronunciation==

+ * Classical: [pal.liˈaː.tʊs]^(Wiktionary)

+ * Ecclesiastical: [pal.liˈaː.tus]^(Wiktionary)

+

+ ==Forms==

+ '''palliātus''' (feminine palliāta, neuter palliātum); first/second-declension adjective^(Wiktionary)

+ Often spelled ''palleātus''.^(TLL)^(Niermeyer 1976)

+

+ ==Etymology==

+ It is [[af|la|pallium|-ātus|t1=cloak, mantle|t2=provided with]],^(OLD 2012)^(Wiktionary) a derivation the grammarian Priscian already gives.^(TLL) De Vaan finds no etymology for [[m|la|palla]] and its family and thinks it may be a loanword.^(de Vaan 2008)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ It is found from Plautus on,^(de Vaan 2008) first in the ''Curculio'': ''istī Graecī palliātī, capite opertō quī ambulant'', “those Greeks in cloaks who walk about with their heads covered”.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ The ''pallium'' was the typical Greek dress, as the toga was the Roman, and ''palliātus'' often marked a Greek: Cicero mocks a juror who is now in the pallium, now in the toga, and tells an opponent he may object as often as he likes that a man was often seen in it.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879) Pliny the Elder used it of statues in the cloak,^(OLD 2012) and Valerius Maximus contrasted the cloaked Pythagoras with trousered barbarians.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879) Varro says that comedies adapted from Greek plays were called ''palliātae'' from the dress of their characters, the name used for the comedy of Plautus and Terence.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879) Valerius Maximus also used it figuratively for covered or protected.^(Lewis & Short 1879)

+

+ Medieval Latin applied it to churchmen and objects: veiled, wearing a cope, covered with drapery, lined with silk, and invested with the [[pallium]].^(Niermeyer 1976)
