Meaning
Origin
The Latin word "lamentum" has its roots in the Proto-Indo-European language, specifically in the root "*la-," which means "to cry out" or "to lament." This root is also the origin of words such as "lament," "lampoon," and "laud."
Over time, the word "lamentum" came to be used in Latin to describe any form of wailing or lamentation, including that which was associated with funeral rites. From Latin, the word "lamentabilis" entered into English via Old French, eventually becoming the word "lamentable" that we use today.
