escendo

Italian

Verb

escendo

1. gerund of escire

Anagrams

• seconde

Latin

Alternative forms

• exscendō, excendō

Etymology

From ex- +‎ scandō (“to mount”). The spelling with esc- instead of exsc- is probably caused by a dissimilatory replacement of /eksk/ with /esk/ (as in the word sescentī, standing for sex-centī), not by use of the long-vowel allomorph ē-, which is only regularly found in prefixed words before a voiced consonant (ēpōtō is an isolated exception).

Pronunciation

• (Classical Latin) IPA^(key): /esˈken.doː/, [ɛs̠ˈkɛn̪d̪oː]
• (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA^(key): /eʃˈʃen.do/, [eʃˈʃɛn̪d̪o]
