relinquere

Italian

Etymology

Borrowed from Latin relinquere.

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): /reˈlin.kwe.re/
• Rhymes: -inkwere
• Hyphenation: re‧lìn‧que‧re

Verb

relìnquere (first-person singular present relìnquo, no past historic, past participle relìtto, no imperfect, no future, no imperfect subjunctive, no imperative, auxiliary avére)

1. (poetic) abandon, leave behind

Usage notes

• Per Treccani, the composed tenses are lacking, and relitto functions only as an adjective. The assumption that relitto is a past participle comes from Hoepli.
