• Quint., quint. (abbreviation)
• Quinctilis, quinctilis, quintilis

From quīntus (“fifth”) +‎ -īlis, due to its position in the Roman calendar prior to the establishment of Iānuārius (“January”) as the first month. As a noun, ellipsis of Quīntīlis mēnsis m (“fifth month”).

• (Classical Latin) IPA^(key): /kʷiːnˈtiː.lis/, [kʷiːn̪ˈt̪iːlʲɪs̠]
• (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA^(key): /kwinˈti.lis/, [kwin̪ˈt̪iːlis]

Quīntīlis (neuter Quīntīle); third-declension two-termination adjective

1. (historical) of the month of Quintilis (the Roman month following June; renamed July in 44 BC)

   nōnae Quīntīlēs ― the nones of July

   īdibus Quīntīlibus ― on the ides of July

In Classical Latin, month names were regularly used as adjectives, generally modifying a case-form of mēnsis m sg (“month”) or of one of the nouns used in the Roman calendar to refer to specific days of the month from which other days were counted: Calendae f pl (“calends”), Nōnae f pl (“nones”), Īdūs f pl (“ides”). However, the masculine noun mēnsis could be omitted by ellipsis, so the masculine singular forms of month names eventually came to be used as proper nouns.^[1]

The accusative plural adjective forms Aprīlīs, Septembrīs, Octōbrīs, Novembrīs, Decembrīs^[2] are ambiguous in writing, being spelled identically to the genitive singular forms of the nouns; nevertheless, the use of ablative singular forms in -ī and comparison with the usage of other month names as adjectives supports the interpretation of -is as an accusative plural adjective ending in Classical Latin phrases such as "kalendas Septembris".^[3]

Third-declension two-termination adjective.

Quīntīlis m sg (genitive Quīntīlis); third declension

1. (historical) the month of Quintilis

Third-declension noun (i-stem, ablative singular in -ī).
