-utus
Latin
Etymology
Found in Classical Latin, as a surface-level ending rather than suffix of its own, in:
- Perfect participles of third-conjugation verbs ending in -uō, -uor, or -vō (acūtus, locūtus, solūtus)
Found as an independent suffix, no longer constrained to the above environments, after Classical times. Compare -ātus and -ītus.

- (Early Medieval Latin)? Forms the past participle of second– or third-conjugation verbs.
