Cunabula

/kjuːˈnæbjʊlə/ noun

Definition

The plural of cunabulum; refers to cradles, birthplaces, or the earliest origins or sources of something.

Etymology

Latin plural of 'cunabulum' (cradle, birthplace, origin), from 'cunae' (cradle). This learned term was used by Roman writers and continues in English scholarly discourse to mean origins or beginnings.

Kelly Says

Cunabula is one of those beautiful Latin words that means both the physical cradle where a baby sleeps and metaphorically the 'cradle' where ideas, movements, or civilizations are born.
