Baculere

/ˈbæk.jə.lɪər/ verb

Definition

An archaic or rare term meaning to furnish or equip with a staff or rod-like support.

Etymology

From Latin 'baculum' with the suffix '-ere' indicating the infinitive verb form, literally meaning 'to make into a staff.'

Kelly Says

This is such an obscure word that it's almost disappeared from use, but it shows how Latin verbs could turn any noun into an action—imagine saying 'to baculere' to mean 'to staff up' today!
