From the root: MUNDUS

Part of Speech: Noun, Adjective

Explanation: The word 'Mundus' has two primary meanings in Latin. As a noun, it refers to the 'world' or 'universe', often implying an ordered and beautiful cosmos. It can also refer to 'mankind' or the inhabitants of the world. In a different sense, as a noun, it can mean 'adornment' or 'female finery', particularly referring to articles used for personal grooming. As an adjective, 'mundus' means 'clean', 'neat', 'elegant', or 'pure'. Its usage depends heavily on context, whether it's describing the physical world, human society, personal appearance, or a state of cleanliness.

Inflection: Noun: 2nd declension (masculine for 'world', feminine for 'adornment'); Adjective: 1st/2nd declension adjective (Masculine, Feminine, Neuter, Nominative, Singular)
