patesco

== Latin == === Etymology === From pateō + -scō. === Pronunciation === (Classical Latin) IPA(key): [paˈtɛs.koː] (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): [paˈtɛs.ko] === Verb === patēscō (present infinitive patēscere, perfect active patuī); third conjugation, no passive, no supine stem to be opening, being revealed, being disclosed to be exposed to Synonym: pateo to become known to extend or stretch out ==== Usage notes ==== Like most inchoative verbs, patēscō is intransitive and tends to imply a change of state or ongoing action. When the state of being open has been achieved, the verb pateō is used, though the distinction is less apparent in the figurative senses. The verbs patefaciō and aperiō are common corresponding transitive verbs which mean "to open (something)". ==== Conjugation ==== Note: perfect forms are shared with pateō. === References === “patesco”, in Charlton T.
