Translations: with me
From the root: EGO
Part of Speech: Pronoun, Preposition
Explanation: MECUM is a compound word formed by the ablative case of the first-person singular pronoun 'EGO' (meaning 'I' or 'me') and the preposition 'CUM' (meaning 'with'). In Latin, 'CUM' often attaches to personal pronouns as an enclitic (a word that attaches to the end of another word and forms a single unit), appearing after the pronoun rather than before it. It is used to indicate accompaniment or association, meaning 'with me'.
