Etymology[edit]
Univerbation of quandō (“when, now that”) + quidem (“restricting particle”).
Pronunciation[edit]
- (Classical) IPA(key): /kʷanˈdoː.kʷi.dem/, [kʷän̪ˈd̪oːkʷɪd̪ɛ̃ˑ] or IPA(key): /kʷanˈdo.kʷi.dem/, [kʷän̪ˈd̪ɔkʷɪd̪ɛ̃ˑ]
- (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): /kwanˈdo.kwi.dem/, [kwän̪ˈd̪ɔːkwid̪em]
- Note: as in other univerbations with quidem (siquidem, tuquidem), the -o- in this word is regularly short, but may be long when not treated as a univerbation.[1] See quotations.
