hodie

Ido

Etymology

Directly from Latin hodiē, probably influenced by or borrowed from Esperanto hodiaŭ and Interlingue hodie. Some argue it should be derived from a new prefix: ho- +‎ dio +‎ -e.

• ozē (Late Latin)

Etymology

From hōc +‎ diē (locative singular), literally “on this day”; a construction found in Old Latin, and also used in crāstinī diē (“tomorrow”, literally “on tomorrow's day”).

Compare Welsh heddiw, Breton hiziv, German heute (“today”), Russian сего́дня (sevódnja, “today”), which are semantically the same construction, but with etymologically unrelated roots, and hence are not cognates.

Pronunciation

• (Classical Latin) IPA^(key): [ˈhɔ.di.eː]
• (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA^(key): [ˈɔː.di.e]

Adverb

hodiē (not comparable)
