Parsing inflected forms may not always work as expected. If the following does not give the correct word, try Latin Words or Perseus.

1. auctumnus (correctly aut-), i, m. (autumnum, i, n., Varr.ap.Non.p.71, 20). [This word was anciently referred to augeo, as the season of increase, as by Paul. ex Fest. p. 23, 11 Müll.; so Curtius. But Corssen and others, in view of its correct form, autumnus, refer it to the Sanscr. av, to do good to, to satisfy one’s self; cf. the Gr. ἐνηνής (i.e. ἐνηϝής), good, kindly, and 2.aveo, to be well.] The season of abundance, the autumn.
