For the semantic development compare Proto-Slavic *kazati Cognates include Oscan 𐌃𐌄𐌝𐌊𐌖𐌌 (deíkum, “to show, point out”), Sanskrit दिशति (diśáti), Ancient Greek δείκνυμι (deíknumi) and Old English tǣċan (English teach). ==== Alternative forms ==== deicō (archaic) ==== Pronunciation ==== (Classical Latin) IPA(key): [ˈdiː.koː] (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): [ˈdiː.ko] ==== Verb ==== dīcō (present infinitive dīcere, perfect active dīxī, supine dictum); third conjugation, irregular short imperative to say, talk, speak, utter, mention Synonyms: aiō, for, effor, inquam, ōrō, alloquor, loquor Salūtem dīcit. ― He says hi.

The sigmatic future is generally ascribed a future or future perfect meaning, while the sigmatic aorist expresses a possible desire ("might want to").3The present passive infinitive in -ier is a rare poetic form which is attested. ===== Derived terms ===== ===== Descendants ===== === Etymology 2 === According to de Vaan, possibly a back-formation from from compounds in -dicāre, such as iūdicō, iūdicāre (“to judge”). There is evidence of a corresponding first-conjugation verb in Umbrian, provided that 𐌕𐌉𐌊𐌀𐌌𐌍𐌄 (tikamne) derives from Proto-Italic *dik-ā-m(e)n-o-. ==== Pronunciation ==== (Classical Latin) IPA(key): [ˈdɪ.koː] (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): [ˈdiː.ko] ==== Verb ==== dicō (present infinitive dicāre, perfect active dicāvī, supine dicātum); first conjugation to dedicate, devote Synonyms: dēdicō, sacrō, addīcō, sanciō, voveō to consecrate, deify Synonyms: cōnsecrō, sanciō Antonym: exaugurō to appropriate to, devote to, assign to, set apart for ===== Conjugation ===== ===== Derived terms ===== ===== Descendants ===== → Portuguese: dicar === References === “dico”, in Charlton T.
