  1. Celtic wheat-beer

    declension-1
Where this word comes from

From a derivative of Proto-Celtic *kurmi, and akin to Cornish korev (“beer, ale”). First documented in Natural History (Pliny) (AD 77–79). Information on variants By far the most common form in Classical Latin was cervēsa, and it is particularly well-represented in the Vindolanda tablets. In Late Latin it was marginalised in favour of the forms cervēsia, cervisa, cervisia. The variant vowel ⟨i⟩ for the second syllable seems to have been short, judging by the Romance outcomes, although the Italian cervigia would suggest an additional cervīsia if it is in fact native. Cf. also the Old Spanish çervisa.
