admonitionum

Admonitionum is the genitive plural form of the Latin noun admonitio, meaning an admonition, warning, or exhortation. In Latin texts the phrase appears when something is described as belonging to or produced by admonitions, or when speaking of the admonitions issued by a person or group. The nominative singular is admonitio, and the corresponding plural is admonitiones, with admonitionum serving as the genitive plural.

Etymology and form: admonitio derives from the verb admonēre, “to warn, remind, or exhort.” The noun is formed with the suffix -tio, which creates abstract or collective nouns indicating the act or result of the verb. The resulting genitive plural form admonitionum is used to express “of the admonitions” or “of the warnings,” a standard Latin construction for possession or attribution.

Usage in Latin texts: admonitionum typically appears in contexts where multiple admonitions are discussed or attributed to a source, such as a speaker, author, or institution. It is a grammatical inflection rather than a distinct modern concept, occurring across classical, medieval, and ecclesiastical Latin literature as part of larger phrases.

English rendering and scope: in translation, admonitionum is ordinarily rendered as “of admonitions” or “of warnings,” depending on context. Because it is a grammatical form rather than a standalone term, its interpretation hinges on the surrounding text and the governing noun to which it is linked.
