## Latin
### Etymology

From Proto-Indo-European *h₁rewdʰ- (“red”), the same root as ruber (“red”). Per Nussbaum, the Classical Latin form rūbrīca is the nominalized feminine form of a first/second declension adjective whose older form can be reconstructed as *rou̯brīk(u̯)o-, from *h₁re/owdʰri-h₃kʷ-o-, formed as a compound of an i-stem noun *h₁re/owdʰri- and the zero grade of the Proto-Indo-European root *h₃ekʷ- (“eye; to see”).

### Pronunciation

* (Classical Latin) IPA: /ruːˈbriː.ka/, [ruːˈbriːkä]
* (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA: /ruˈbri.ka/, [ruˈbriːkä]
* The long vowel in the first syllable is attested in Plautus Truculentus 294 (a poet who does not regularly allow word-medial br to make position after a short vowel) as well as in other occurrences in verse.

### Noun

rūbrīca f (genitive rūbrīcae); first declension
* red ochre, ruddle (red earth for coloring)
** c. 189 BCE, Plautus, Truculentus 294, (trochaic septenarius):buccas rubrica, creta omne corpus intinxti tibi.
** c. 30 BCE, Horace, Sermones 2.7.98, (dactylic hexameter):proelia rubrica picta aut carbone, velut si
