-izo
Latin
[edit]Alternative forms
[edit]- -idiō (non-standard spelling; 2nd c. CE onwards)
Etymology
[edit]Borrowed from Ancient Greek -ίζω (-ízō). At first limited to borrowings from Greek but later become a productive suffix of its own. Doublet of -issō, which is found in an older layer of borrowings.
Pronunciation
[edit]- (Classical Latin) IPA(key): /ˈiz.zoː/, [ˈɪz̪d̪͡z̪oː]
- (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): /ˈid.d͡zo/, [ˈid̪ː͡z̪o]
Suffix
[edit]-izō (present infinitive -izāre, perfect active -izāvī, supine -izātum); first conjugation
- Used to form similative verbs from nouns and adjectives.
Conjugation
[edit]1At least one use of the archaic "sigmatic future" and "sigmatic aorist" tenses is attested, which are used by Old Latin writers; most notably Plautus and Terence. The sigmatic future is generally ascribed a future or future perfect meaning, while the sigmatic aorist expresses a possible desire ("might want to"). It is also attested as having a rare sigmatic future passive indicative form ("will have been"), which is not attested in the plural for any verb.
2The present passive infinitive in -ier is a rare poetic form which is attested.
