Pronunciation

(Classical) IPA^(key): /ˈtuː.ra/

(Ecclesiastical) IPA^(key): /ˈtu.ra/, [ˈtuː.ra]

Suffix

-tūra f (genitive -tūrae); first declension

-ure, -ing; used to form a noun relating to some action.

Usage notes

The suffix -tūra is added to the supine form of a verb to create a first-declension noun naming the verb's action or the result of that action.

Examples:

pictūra (“painting, picture”), from pictum, supine of pingō (“I paint”)

scrīptūra (“a writing, act of writing”), from scrīptum, supine of scrībō (“I write”)

The suffix -tūra resembles the feminine form of (and may be related to) the future active participle ending -tūrus, which describes impending or imminent action (e.g. pictūrus "about to paint"; scrīptūrus "on the point of writing").
