aveo

== Latin == === Pronunciation === (Classical Latin) IPA(key): [ˈa.we.oː] (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): [ˈaː.ve.o] === Etymology 1 === From Proto-Indo-European *h₂ew-eh₁yeti, a stative verb from the root *h₂ew- (“to enjoy, consume”). Cognate with Sanskrit अवति (ávati, “he consumes, satisfies”), Welsh ewyllys (“will”). ==== Verb ==== aveō (present infinitive avēre); second conjugation, no passive, no perfect or supine stems to desire, wish or long for, crave, be eager Synonyms: requīrō, affectō, cupiō, quaerō, studeō, concupiō, petō, indigeō, sitiō, expetō, spectō, voveō, circumspiciō, appetō Antonyms: āversor, abhorreō ===== Usage notes ===== From Bréal and Bailly: Aveo is one of those verbs that has a meaning difficult to precisely define. This is due to numerous semantic shifts that have occurred regarding it. Nevertheless, its original meaning is seemingly "to be alert, to be happy", from whence came the later meaning "to be hungry, to desire". The rhetorician Claudius Mamertinus, who was once hailed with the words "Ave, consul amplissime," by Emperor Julian, responded to him "Aveo plane Imperator et avebo… cum is avere iubeat, qui iam fecit, ut averem." The most common meaning of aveo is "to desire", but the adjectival form "avidus" initially meant "who likes to, that which is ported to". Thus the transition to the "hungry, eager" sense was relatively simple. Lucretius employs the adjective "avidus" and the adverb "aveo" in the sense of "large, abundant", reflecting the original use of aveo. ===== Conjugation ===== ===== Derived terms ===== ==== References ==== === Etymology 2 === See avē. ==== Alternative forms ==== haveō ==== Verb ==== aveō (present infinitive avēre); second conjugation, highly defective, no perfect or supine stems to be well or fare well ===== Conjugation ===== Only attested forms are the present active infinitive, avēre, and the imperatives avē, avēte and avētō. ==== References ==== “aveo”, in Charlton T.
