/ˈˌpəŋ(k)təs ˈvərsəs/

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymons: Latin punctus versus; Latin punctus, versus.

Etymology: Either < post-classical Latin punctus versus (although this has not been traced in Latin), or < classical Latin punctus (see punctus n.) + versus (see verse adj.). Compare German Punctus versus (1912 or earlier). Compare punctus n., punctus elevatus n., punctus interrogativus n.

Palaeography.

In medieval manuscripts: a punctuation mark similar in appearance to a semicolon, used to indicate a relatively long pause or a major break. Cf. punctus n., punctus elevatus n.
