Aruspice

/əˈrʌspɪs/ noun

Definition

A variant or singular form of aruspex; a Roman diviner who interpreted omens from animal entrails.

Etymology

Variant form of aruspex from Latin, sometimes used as an alternative singular or anglicized version of the Etruscan-origin term.

Kelly Says

This alternate spelling shows how English once tried multiple ways to Latinize Etruscan words—eventually 'haruspex' won, but 'aruspice' lingered in scholarly texts.
