Etymology

[edit]

From Latin ustrinum.

Noun

[edit]

ustrinum (plural ustrina)

  1. (historical, Ancient Rome) The site of a funeral pyre
    • 1858, John Kenrick, Roman Sepulcral Inscriptions: Their Relation to Archaeology, Language, and Religion:
      The Romans had, even in their smaller municipia, Boards of Health—such, at least, I take to be the meaning of Novemvir and Triumvir Valetudinarius; and it may seem extraordianry that they did not remove the ustrinum to a greater distance.
