+ '''sollus''' (feminine solla, neuter sollum); first/second-declension adjective^(Wiktionary)

+

+ ==Etymology==

+ It is an Oscan word, [[bor|osc|sullus|t=all, whole]]; as a Latin word it survives only in compounds such as [[sollers]] and [[sollicitus]].^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879) The Italic word is [[itc-pro|*solno-|t=whole]], from [[ine-pro|*sol(h₂)-no-|t=whole]].^(de Vaan 2008)^(Wiktionary) Nussbaum argues that it may instead come from *solh₂wo-, the source of [[salvus]].^(de Vaan 2008) Cognate with [[pgn|solois|t=to all]], [[cy|holl|t=all]], [[sga|slán|t=whole, sound]], [[grc|ὅλος|tr=hólos|t=whole]] and [[sa|सर्व|tr=sárva|t=all]].^(de Vaan 2008)^(Wiktionary)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ Lucilius uses it of pots bought though not whole, as Festus reports.^(Lewis & Short 1879)^(de Vaan 2008) Köbler dates Lucilius c. 180–102 BC.^(Köbler 2010)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ It meant whole, entire or unbroken.^(OLD 2012)^(Wiktionary) Festus explains ''sollum'' as Oscan for “whole” and “customary”, and derives from it the javelin ''sōliferreum'', made wholly of iron, and ''sollers'', a man skilled in good arts.^(Lewis & Short 1879)

+

+ De Vaan explains [[sollicitus]] as “wholly stirred”, and connects [[sollemnis]] “performed according to the rites, solemn”.^(de Vaan 2008) From these come [[en|solicit]], recorded in the early 15th century as “to disturb, trouble”, and [[en|solemn]] in the mid-14th.^(Etymonline)
