sesti

Sesti is a term that can have several uses depending on language and context. In Italian, sesto means “sixth,” and sesti is its plural form when used as a noun or as a masculine plural adjective. It can denote the sixth part of a whole in fractions, or describe multiple items that occupy a sixth position in a sequence.

In music theory and theory-related discourse, sesto (and its plural sesti) refers to the interval of a sixth. When discussed in plural form, sesti can denote multiple instances of a sixth interval or, in some notational traditions, structural elements built on sixths.

Beyond language and music, sesti may appear as a surname or as part of geographic names in various regions. As a toponym or family name, its specific referents depend on local usage and historical context. Because of its roots in the Latin-derived form for “sixth,” the term tends to recur in contexts connected to ordinal numerals or divisions based on six.

Overall, sesti is a polyvalent term whose primary sense relates to the number six, with concrete meaning determined by whether it appears in Italian language usage, musical terminology, or as a proper name. For precise interpretation, the surrounding text or domain (linguistic, musical, or onomastic) is typically needed. See also Sesto for related forms and potential disambiguation.
