iuvo

== Latin == === Etymology === Uncertain. The word probably originates from a PIE reduplicated present *h₁íHewHeti (“to help”), from the root *h₁ewH-. This same PIE verb may be the source of Hittite [Term?] (/⁠iyauwatta⁠⁠/, “to be healed, recover”). Proto-Indo-European *h₁íHewHeti may have produced an athematic Proto-Italic verb *iow-, which then became iuvere. The form iuvere is likely the source of iuvō, -āre, although the exact process of derivation is unclear. It may have developed as an iterative to iuvere or it may have emerged as a back-formation from adiuvō, -āre, which—according to this theory—would have derived from ad- +‎ iuvere via the same pattern as pellō, pellere and appellō, appellāre. It is unusual for PIE *-ew- to yield Latin Latin *-u-. De Vaan suggests that iuvere may have replaced earlier *iovere by analogy with iuvāre, which itself—if the back-formation hypothesis is accepted—may have replaced earlier *iovāre by analogy with adiuvō. === Pronunciation === (Classical Latin) IPA(key): [ˈjʊ.woː] (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): [ˈjuː.vo] === Verb === iuvō (present infinitive iuvāre, perfect active iūvī, supine iūtum); first conjugation to help, aid Synonyms: adiūtō, adiuvō, foveō, assistō, succurrō, sublevō, prōficiō, prōsum, adsum Antonym: officiō audaces fortuna iuvat ― Fortune favours the brave (Virgil, Aeneid) to delight, gratify, please Synonyms: permulceō, dēlectō, fruor, congrātulor, exhilarō Quamvis non rectum quod iuvat rectum putes ― It may not be right but if it pays think it so (Publilius Syrus) ==== Conjugation ==== ==== Derived terms ==== adiuvō dēiuvō iūcundus praeiuvō ==== Descendants ==== === References === === Further reading === “juvo”, in Charlton T.
