escendo

== Italian == === Verb === escendo 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): [ɛsˈkɛn.doː] (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): [eʃˈʃɛn.do] === Verb === escendō (present infinitive escendere, perfect active escendī, supine escēnsum); third conjugation to ascend, go up, mount Synonyms: īnscendō, cōnscendō, ascendō, succēdō, scandō, superscandō, suprascandō, ēnītor, subeō, ērēpō Antonyms: dēscendō, dēcurrō ==== Conjugation ==== ==== Derived terms ==== escēnsiō === References === === Further reading === “escendo”, in Charlton T.
