Latin

The Tea room(+) is discussing this entry at the moment.
Please come along and share your opinions on this and the other topics being discussed there. The user who started this topic summarised the issue as: “I think saying t-starting suffixes are in latin added to the supine form is inherently wrong, see also Wiktionary:Etymology scriptorium at 'Latin cursim, passim, sparsim, etc.' ”

Etymology 1

[edit]

Likely originally denominatives in -ō formed from the past participle.

Suffix

[edit]

-tō (present infinitive -tāre, perfect active -tāvī, supine -tātum); first conjugation

  1. Forms frequentative verbs from existing verbs. In Latin, this means repeated or intense action.[1] For examples, see here.
Usage notes
[edit]

The suffix uses the past participle/supine stem as the base, see the usage notes at -tus for more. It is not used for first conjugation verbs, the variant -itō appears there instead.

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.
