participate

== English == === Etymology === Borrowed from Latin participātus, the perfect passive participle of participō (“to take part in, share in, give part in, impart”) (see -ate (verb-forming suffix) and -ate (adjective-forming suffix)), from particeps (“taking part (in), sharing (in); someone who takes part (in)”, particip- in compounds), from pars (“part”, part- in compounds) +‎ -ceps (“which takes, taker”), literally “(someone) who takes part”; see part and capable. Compare Old English dǣlniman (“to participate”), an earlier calque of the same Latin verb. === Pronunciation === (Received Pronunciation) IPA(key): /pɑːˈtɪs.ɪ.peɪt/ (General American, Canada) IPA(key): /pɑɹˈtɪs.ə.peɪt/ (General Australian) IPA(key): /pɐːˈtɪs.ə.pæɪt/ (New Zealand) IPA(key): /pɐːˈtəs.ə.pæɪt/ === Verb === participate (third-person singular simple present participates, present participle participating, simple past and past participle participated) (intransitive) To join in, to take part, to involve oneself (in something).
