Uitgespreek as (IPA)

[au̯ˈraː.tʊs]

Etimologie (Engels)

From aurum (“gold”) + -ātus (“-ed”). Can also be analyzed as the perfect passive participle of aurō (“I gild”), which is cited by Priscian as the derivation. However, finite forms of this verb are rare and are first attested later than the adjective/participle, in a single doubtful passage in Tertullian.
