noceo

== Latin == === Etymology === From Proto-Italic *nokeō, from earlier *nokejō, from Proto-Indo-European *noḱ-éye-ti, causative of the root *neḱ- (“perish, disappear”). Cognate with Sanskrit नश्यति (naśyati, “disappear, perish”). === Pronunciation === (Classical Latin) IPA(key): [ˈnɔ.ke.oː] (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): [ˈnɔː.t͡ʃe.o] === Verb === noceō (present infinitive nocēre, perfect active nocuī, supine nocitum); second conjugation (with dative) to injure, do harm to, hurt, damage Synonyms: mulcō, feriō, sauciō, vulnerō, secō, īnfestō, laedō ==== Usage notes ==== The injury caused may be physical or emotional. ==== Conjugation ==== In practice, the only passive forms met with in Latin are the third-person singular forms. 1At least one use of the Old Latin "sigmatic future" and "sigmatic aorist" tenses is attested, which are used by Old Latin writers; most notably Plautus and Terence. The sigmatic future is generally ascribed a future or future perfect meaning, while the sigmatic aorist expresses a possible desire ("might want to").2The present passive infinitive in -ier is a rare poetic form which is attested. ==== Derived terms ==== ==== Related terms ==== ==== Descendants ==== Reflexes of an assumed variant *nocĕre: === References === Coromines, Joan; Pascual, José Antonio (1985), “nucir”, in Diccionario crítico etimológico castellano e hispánico [Critical Castilian and Hispanic etymological dictionary]‎[1] (in Spanish), volume IV (Me–Re), Madrid: Gredos, →ISBN, page 243 === Further reading === “noceo”, in Charlton T.
