ercisco

Alternative forms

• hercīscō

Etymology

From an earlier form *ercō, ercīre +‎ -scō. *Ercō is probably from Proto-Indo-European *h₁erk- (“to divide”), cognate with Hittite [script needed] (ark-). The spelling with initial h is by influence of the unrelated hērēs (“heir”).

• (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA^(key): /erˈt͡ʃis.ko/, [erˈt͡ʃisko]

Verb

ercīscō (present infinitive ercīscere); third conjugation, no perfect or supine stems

1. (transitive) to divide (an inheritance)

Usage notes
