† plemmirrulateadj.

Etymology: < Italian plemmyrulato (1499 in the source translated in quot. 1592), probably < plemmyrulo wave (1499 as plemmyruli , plural, in the same source) + -ato -ate suffix². Italian plemmyrulo is probably < ancient Greek πλημυρεῖν (variant πλημμυρεῖν , frequently in manuscripts) to rise like a flood tide, to overflow ( < πλημυρίς flood tide, flood (see note) < Hellenistic Greek πλήμη flood tide, although this is apparently first attested later (compare ancient Greek πλήσμη flood tide, with a different form of the suffix) < the base of ancient Greek πιμπλάναι to fill (see full adj., n.², and adv.) + -μη , suffix forming nouns) + Italian -ul- -ule suffix.The derivation of πλημυρίς from πλήμη reflects that of ἁλμυρίς salt substance < ἁλμυρός salty ( < ἅλμη seawater, brine + -υρος , suffix forming adjectives) + -ιδ- , -ις -id suffix², although an adjective *πλημυρός is not recorded.
