struo

== Latin == === Etymology === From Proto-Italic *strowō, from Proto-Indo-European *strew- (“to strew, to spread out”). The stems of strūxī and strūctum (for the expected *strōvī and *strūtum) must be analogical on the model of fluō. Cognate with Old English strewian (English strew), Old Norse strá. === Pronunciation === (Classical Latin) IPA(key): [ˈstru.oː] (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): [ˈstruː.o] === Verb === struō (present infinitive struere, perfect active strūxī, supine strūctum); third conjugation to place one thing on top of another, to pile up, join together Synonyms: cumulō, accumulō, exstruō, onerō, inaedificō, colligō to compose, construct, build Synonyms: aedificō, exaedificō, inaedificō, cōnstituō, cōnstruō, condō, compōnō, fundō, statuō, exstruō, mōlior (transferred) to ready, prepare, devise, design, contrive, arrange, plot, aim at, accomplish, to make or do a plan, purpose, intent, or course of action Synonyms: inveniō, māchinor, parō, comminīscor to place, arrange Synonyms: pōnō, collocō, locō, sistō, statuō, cōnstituō to heap up, load with Synonym: acervō ==== Usage notes ==== In Classical texts, the only passive forms for this verb are the third-person singular and plural. Please note that there is a disagreement over whether the root vowel is short or long in the third and fourth principal parts and the verb forms based on these (strūxī for struxī and strūctum for structum). ==== Conjugation ==== ==== Derived terms ==== ==== Descendants ==== → Italian: struere → Middle Welsh: ystryw Welsh: ystryw === References === === Further reading === “struo”, in Charlton T.
