Part of Speech: Noun, Participle

Explanation: LECTUM can be an inflected form of two different Latin words. It can be the accusative singular of the noun LECTUS, meaning 'bed' or 'couch'. In this case, it would be used as the direct object of a verb. Alternatively, it can be the neuter nominative or accusative singular form of the perfect passive participle of the verb LEGO, meaning 'to read', 'to choose', or 'to gather'. As a participle, it describes something that has been read, chosen, or gathered, and can function adjectivally or substantively.

Inflection: Singular, Accusative, Masculine (from LECTUS); or Singular, Nominative or Accusative, Neuter (from LEGO)
