stipendium m (plural stipendiums)

1. scholarship, bursary

Haplologized from *stipipendium, from stips (“alms, small payment”) (from stipes) and pendere (“pay, weigh”).

• (Classical) IPA^(key): /stiːˈpen.di.um/, [s̠t̪iːˈpɛn̪d̪iʊ̃ˑ]
• (Ecclesiastical) IPA^(key): /stiˈpen.di.um/, [st̪iˈpɛn̪d̪ium]

Generally thought to have a long vowel in the first syllable, despite the short /i/ in the base stips; one potential explanation of this is a change from */ipp/ to /iːp/. However, there is some uncertainty: most occurrences in meter are inconclusive (placing it in an anceps syllable, which was usually long but could be short) except for the case of stīpendium in Ennius, which Michiel de Vaan argues is an example of lengthening metri causa[1].

stīpendium n (genitive stīpendiī or stīpendī); second declension

     If they chose to make a second trial, he was ready to encounter them again; but if they chose to enjoy peace, it was unfair to refuse the tribute, which of their own free-will they had paid up to that time.
