e/Cursus

Information
has gloss	eng: Cursus (plural cursūs or cursuses) was a name given by early British archaeologists such as William Stukeley to the large parallel lengths of banks with external ditches which they thought were early Roman athletic courses, hence the Latin name cursus, meaning "course". Cursus monuments are now understood to be Neolithic structures and represent some of the oldest prehistoric monumental structures of the British Isles; cursus may have been of ceremonial function.

Meaning
German
has gloss	deu: Als Cursus (pl. Cursūs, von lateinisch cursus: Lauf, Marschroute) bezeichnet man nach dem Antiquar William Stukeley schmale, extrem lange, meist rechteckige neolithische Erdwerke in Großbritannien. Die falsche englische Pluralform Cursuses scheint zuerst durch Osbert Crawford 1937 verwendet worden zu sein und findet sich seitdem sogar in der Fachliteratur.
lexicalization	deu: Cursus
Italian
has gloss	ita: Il Cursus fu un nome dato dai primi archeologi britannici, come William Stukeley, alle grandi distese parallele di cumuli con fossati esterni che essi pensavano fossero stati i primi corsi atletici romani, da cui il nome latino cursus (ossia "corso/via/cammino/corsa", in italiano). I monumenti dei Cursus sono adesso compresi come strutture neolitiche e rappresentano alcuni delle più vecchie strutture monumentali preistoriche delle Isole britanniche e possono essere stati adibiti a una funzione ceremoniale.
