nascor

== Latin == === Etymology === From Proto-Italic *gnāskōr, from Proto-Indo-European *ǵenh₁- (“to give birth”). The word-initial *gn- was regularly simplified to n-; however, gnātus is attested in Old Latin as an alternative form of the perfect active participle nātus "born", and also (more frequently) as an early form of the noun nātus "son". As a noun, gnātus continued to be used by later authors as a (mostly poetic) archaism. Related to gignō (“to beget; to give birth to; to bring forth”). Cognate with Ancient Greek γεννάω (gennáō, “to beget”). === Pronunciation === (Classical Latin) IPA(key): [ˈnaːs.kɔr] (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): [ˈnas.kor] === Verb === nāscor (present infinitive nāscī, perfect active nātus sum or gnātus sum); third conjugation, deponent to be born, begotten to arise, proceed to grow, spring forth (figuratively) of abstract things: to come into existence, arise, be produced, spring up to be a number of years old Vīgintī et quīnque annōs nātus sum.
