What it meant

1. palliatus — de Vaan

palliatus 'wearing a pallium' (PL+), pallidum 'small pallium' (Pl>), palliolatim 'in/with a pallium' (P1.+). No etymology. A PIE preform could for instance be *pHl-n/d/s/u-, or a secondary full grade a of a root *pelC- as in pellis* But it may well be a loanword. Bibl.: WH II: 238f, EM 476, IEW 803f — [de Vaan, s.v. palliatus, p. 454]
