gigno

== Latin == === Alternative forms === genō === Etymology === From Proto-Italic *gignō, from Proto-Indo-European *ǵíǵn̥h₁eti, the reduplicated present stem of *ǵenh₁- (“to produce, beget”). The perfect form genuī may derive from a Proto-Italic aorist stem *gena-, itself perhaps from an original root aorist *ǵénh₁t. De Vaan suggests that the perfect participle form genitus may have replaced earlier *gnātos on the model of the aoristic form genuī. The original perfect participle may be continued by prōgnātus and nātus. Cognate to Ancient Greek γίγνομαι (gígnomai, “to come into being, to be born, to take place”). === Pronunciation === (Classical Latin) IPA(key): [ˈɡɪŋ.noː] (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): [ˈd͡ʒiɲ.ɲo] === Verb === gignō (present infinitive gignere, perfect active genuī, supine genitum); third conjugation to bring forth as a fruit of oneself: to bear, to beget, to engender, to give birth to Synonyms: genō, prōcreō, suscipiō, prōdō, pariō, creō, ēnītor, cōnītor, ēdō, efficiō Antonyms: necō, interimō, caedō, obtruncō to produce, to cause, to yield (passive voice) to be born, to be begotten, to be engendered, to be produced, etc. ==== Conjugation ==== ==== Derived terms ==== ==== Related terms ==== ==== Descendants ==== ⇒ Old French: genoir, genuir (from the perfect active form genuī)⇒ Middle French: congénuir, engénoïr === References === === Further reading === “gigno”, in Charlton T.
