pello

== Italian == === Contraction === pello (dated) contraction of per lo === Anagrams === polle == Latin == === Etymology === From Proto-Italic *pelnō or *pelnaō, a nasal-infix present derived from Proto-Indo-European *pel- (“to drive, strike, thrust”). See Ancient Greek πάλλω (pállō), πελεμίζω (pelemízō, “shake, cause to tremble”), ψάλλω (psállō), Latin palpō. Unrelated to Greek πέλω (pélō), which means "to stir." The past participle pulsus is analogous; the logical outcome of Proto-Italic *poltos would have been *pultus; compare pultō and Venetan poltos. See vellō for a similar analogy. === Pronunciation === (Classical Latin) IPA(key): [ˈpɛl.loː] (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): [ˈpɛl.lo] === Verb === pellō (present infinitive pellere, perfect active pepulī, supine pulsum); third conjugation to push, drive, hurl, impel, propel; expel, banish, eject, thrust out Synonyms: exigō, ablēgō, exsulō, expellō, exportō, āmoveō, auferō, eximō, fugō, ēiciō to strike, set in motion (military) to rout, put to flight, discomfit (music) to strike the chords, play (figuratively) to touch, move, affect, impress to beat, strike Synonyms: percello, percutio, ferio, mulcō, pulsō, discutio, accido, affligo, tango, impingo, ico, verbero (figuratively) to conquer, overcome, defeat Synonyms: subigō, subiciō, dēvincō, vincō, conquestō, superō, ēvincō, expugnō, domō, prōflīgō, caedō, exsuperō, obruō, opprimō, premō, fundō ==== Conjugation ==== Note that pluperfect active indicative pepulerat has the alternative form pulserat and that the perfect active indicative pepulī has the alternative form polsī. ==== Derived terms ==== === References === “pello”, in Charlton T.
