suadeo

== Latin == === Etymology === From Proto-Italic *swādejō, itself from a Proto-Indo-European causative verb in *-éyeti from the root *sweh₂d- (“sweet”), hence literally, “to make sweet, sweeten”. The stem of the original verb may have been either the zero-grade *suh₂d-éyeti, as in Sanskrit सूदयति (sūdáyati, “to make tasty”), or the o-grade *swoh₂d-éyeti, but in the end it was secondarily replaced with the full grade by influence of the related adjective suāvis (“sweet”). === Pronunciation === (Classical Latin) IPA(key): [ˈsʷaː.de.oː] (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): [ˈsʷaː.de.o] (Classical Latin) IPA(key): [suˈaː.de.oː] (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): [suˈaː.de.o] Note: while the word generally scans with a glide in classical poetry, the rare pronunciation of the u as a vowel (in hiatus) is attested as early as Lucretius (see quotations). Compare the similar phenomenon in suāvis, which Romance languages reflect with a hiatus. === Verb === suādeō (present infinitive suādēre, perfect active suāsī, supine suāsum); second conjugation to recommend, advise Synonyms: commendō, admoneō, moneō, dēlīberō, conciliō, cēnseō, praedicō, suggerō to urge, exhort, induce, impel, suade, persuade Synonyms: persuādeō, perdūcō, convincō, exhortor, indūcō, moveō Antonyms: dissuādeō, tardō, obiūrgō to advocate, promote, support ==== Conjugation ==== This verb has only limited passive conjugation; only third-person passive forms are attested in surviving sources. ==== Derived terms ==== ==== Descendants ==== → English: suade → Italian: suadere → Portuguese: suadir → Spanish: suadir === References === === Further reading === “suadeo”, in Charlton T.
