vigeo

== Latin == === Etymology === Uncertain. Perhaps a stative form from the Proto-Indo-European root *weǵ- (“to be lively”), possibly via Proto-Italic *wegēō. De Vaan and Sihler relate the term to vegeō, which De Vaan argues is indicative of an original adjective *weg-o- (“active, alive, awake”), which De Vaan suggests may be the source of the Latin term. The *-i- is unexpected in the Latin form; De Vaan suspect this to be a vowel raising from original *-e- after the labial v-, as also seen in firmus and vitulus. === Pronunciation === (Classical Latin) IPA(key): [ˈwɪ.ɡe.oː] (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): [ˈviː.d͡ʒe.o] === Verb === vigeō (present infinitive vigēre, perfect active viguī); second conjugation, no passive, no supine stem to be vigorous or thriving; thrive, flourish Synonyms: polleo, possum, valeō, praevaleō, queō Antonym: nequeō to be in honor, esteem or repute; prosper to be alive, live ==== Conjugation ==== ==== Derived terms ==== pervigeō vigēscō vigil vigor ==== Related terms ==== vigōrō ==== Descendants ==== Italian: vigere Portuguese: viger === References === === Further reading === “vigeo”, in Charlton T.
