admirationis

Admirationis is the genitive singular form of the Latin noun admiratio, which means admiration, wonder, or respect. In Latin grammar, admiratio is a feminine noun belonging to the third declension with an -io ending, often treated as an i-stem noun in some grammars. The genitive singular admirationis expresses possession or specification, roughly translating to “of admiration” or “admiration’s” in English.

The root of admiratio is the verb admirari, meaning to wonder at or to admire. The noun appears in Classical Latin texts to denote the state or act of admiring, often in discussions of awe, praise, or regard. As a grammatical form, admirationis functions as a possessive or descriptive element within a larger phrase, with typical surrounding cases shaping meaning (for example, in phrases such as admirationis causā “for the sake of admiration” or admirationis memoria “in memory of admiration”). Adjectives or other modifiers agree with admiratio in gender, number, and case.

Declension and morphology aside from the genitive form follow standard Latin noun patterns for admiratio: nominative admiratio, genitive admirationis, dative admirationi, accusative admirationem, ablative admiratione; plural forms include admiratio nes, admirationum, admirationibus, admirationes, admirationibus. In translation, admirationis is not a standalone English word but a grammatical form used to convey relationships of possession or description in Latin sentences.

In modern reference, admirationis appears primarily in linguistic discussions, Latin glossaries, and classical texts where precise morphological forms are important. It may also surface in scholarly apparatuses that present Latin quotations with full case inflections.
