regressi

Regressi is a term that occurs mainly as a morphological form in Latin and, less commonly, in Italian-language texts. It is not a standalone concept with a single, widely recognized definition in English-language scholarship.

In Latin, regressi derives from the verb regredi, meaning to go back or to return. It may appear as a plural form in phrases where it refers to masculine plural subjects, or it can function as a substantive referring to “those who have returned” depending on the grammatical context. Its exact role—whether descriptive or substantive—varies with case, number, and sentence structure in classical and medieval Latin texts.

In modern Italian, the standard words for “regression” are regressione or regresso. Regressi, when it appears, is typically not a common stand-alone form in contemporary usage and would more often appear as part of a larger phrase or as a plural form of a borrowed or specialized noun in limited contexts. As with many Latin-derived forms encountered in Italian texts, its interpretation depends on how it is integrated into a sentence.

Because of its limited independent usage, readers encountering regressi should rely on the surrounding linguistic context to determine meaning. In general, this form is more likely to be seen in classical texts or in discussions that involve Latin grammar, rather than as a widely used modern concept.
