A form of a Latin verb, having the (declinable) ending -ndus which functions as an adjective meaning “that should or must be done”.
Examples:
- quod erat demonstrandum — because that is the very thing one seeks to prove;
- mutatis mutandis — changed in ways that must be changed.
See also gerund, which is capable of social snobbery.
