apoculo

== Latin == === Etymology === Uncertain. If the penultimate vowel was short, perhaps from Ancient Greek ἀποκυλίω (apokulíō, “to roll away, roll back”). If long, then from Ancient Greek ἀπο- (apo-, “away”) + cūlō, another uncertain hapax from cūlus (“arse”), hence similar in formation to bugger off. Other proposals link it to oculus and even pōculum. === Pronunciation === (Classical Latin) IPA(key): [a.pɔˈkuː.ɫoː], [aˈpɔ.kʊ.ɫoː] (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): [a.poˈkuː.lo], [aˈpɔː.ku.lo] Note: the length of all the stem vowels is uncertain. === Verb === apocū̆lō (present infinitive apocū̆lāre, perfect active apocū̆lāvī, supine apocū̆lātum); first conjugation (neologism, slang, reflexive) to leave, go away, make oneself scarce, disappear ==== Conjugation ==== === References === “apoculō” on page 162 of the Oxford Latin Dictionary (2nd ed., 2012) “apoculo”, in Gaffiot, Félix (1934), Dictionnaire illustré latin-français, Hachette.
