  1. the pint (eighth of a gallon) in the English apothecaries' system

    New-Latin · declension-2
Where this word comes from

From oct- (as in octō (“eight”) and octāvus (“eighth”)) + -ārius (adjective-forming suffix), due to it being an eighth part of a gallon. Likely modeled after sextārius, from sextus (“sixth”), used in Classical Latin as the name of a unit of volume (the sester) equivalent to a sixth of a Latin congius; compare also quārtārius, another volume measure in Ancient Roman units of measurement. However, strict analogy with sextārius would have required the use of the form octāvārius instead.
