excello

== Latin == === Etymology === From ex- +‎ Proto-Italic *kelnō (“to rise”), a lost verb whose past participle resulted in celsus, from Proto-Indo-European *kelH- (“to rise”) (whence collis, columen etc.). Given South Picene 𐌄𐌟𐌄𐌋𐌔𐌉𐌕 (eśelsit), Proto-Italic *eks-kelnō can be reconstructed. === Pronunciation === (Classical Latin) IPA(key): [ɛksˈkɛl.loː] (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): [eksˈt͡ʃɛl.lo] === Verb === excellō (present infinitive excellere, perfect active excelluī, supine excelsum); third conjugation to elevate, raise up Synonyms: levō, ēlevō, allevō, ērigō, tollō, scandō, ēvehō, efferō, sublīmō, surgō, ēdō Antonyms: dēiciō, abiciō to rise, elevate oneself to exult, be elated to excel, surpass Synonyms: antecēdō, anteeō, praeēmineō, trānseō to be eminent Synonyms: ēmineō, exstō, liqueō, antecēdō, praeēmineō, ēniteō ==== Conjugation ==== ==== Derived terms ==== ==== Related terms ==== antecellō praecellō ==== Descendants ==== === References === “excello”, in Charlton T.
