Words That Rhyme With Tabulate

Origin of Tabulate

Origin 1: Latin tabula tablet

Origin 2: From Late Latin tabulātus (“having a floor; floored”), perfect passive participle of tabulō (“to fit with planks”), from tabula (“board, plank”), of uncertain origin, possibly from Proto-Indo-European *teh₂- (a variant of *steh₂- (“to stand”)) + *-dʰlom (a variant of *-trom (suffix forming nouns denoting tools or instruments)). Equivalent to table +‎ -ate (verb-forming suffix).

Origin 3: From Late Latin tabulāta (“thin board, plank, flooring”),[2] or more likely a relatinized version of tablet through tabula.

Origin 4: Back-formation from translingual Tabulata (“an extinct order of corals”) on the basis of -ate (adjective-forming suffix, corresponding to Latin -ātus (forming participles), itself seen in Tabulata), from Latin tabulāta, the nominative neuter plural of tabulātus (“floored”). See further at etymology 1. The order is so named because the corals are characterized by their well-developed horizontal internal partitions (tabulae). Equivalent to tabula +‎ -ate (adjective-forming suffix).

Origin 5: From a substantivation of the former adjective through the associated taxon's name (Tabulata). Equivalent to tabula +‎ -ate (forms nouns meaning "specimen of a corresponding taxon ending in -ata")
