Rare enough to double-check
latus is uncommon German outside the top frequency list, classed as anadjective, transcribed [ˈlaːtuʂ]. Rarity is why readers land here mid-draft. Gloss: "von größerer Ausdehnung in die Breite; breit, weit".
latus doesn't appear in our generated misspelling index, which points to an orthography that plays by predictable German rules. We don't track a confusable pairing for this entry, since nothing in our dataset looks or sounds close enough to cause mix-ups.
Our source data has no etymology on file for this entry, so spelling patterns must be inferred from the word's phoneme-to-grapheme mapping rather than from a documented borrowing chain. The correct German form is latus, spelled L-A-T-U-S.
