necessitariam

Necessitariam is a form found in Latin texts, serving as the feminine accusative singular of the adjective necessitarius, which carries the sense “pertaining to necessity” or “necessary.”

In Latin, adjectives agree with the nouns they modify in gender, number, and case. For an -arius adjective describing a feminine noun in the accusative, the ending is -ariam, so necessitariam would modify a feminine noun in the accusative. An illustrative but typical construction would be rem necessitariam, meaning “the necessary thing” as a direct object.

Usage and attestation are relatively limited in classical sources. The form is more likely to appear in medieval or scholastic Latin, where a broader range of adjective inflections was employed to specify attributes such as necessity with greater precision. It stands alongside the neuter necessitarium and the feminine necessaria, with necessitariam functioning primarily as a morphologically specific variant rather than a standalone lexical item.

In modern Latin study and linguistic discussion, necessitariam is cited mainly as an example of Latin noun-adjective inflection, illustrating how the feminine accusative singular of an -arius adjective is formed and used. It does not denote a distinct modern concept beyond its grammatical role. See also: necessitarius, necessarium, necessaria, Latin adjective declensions.
