== Latin ==
=== Etymology ===
From Proto-Italic *gʷīwō, from Proto-Indo-European *gʷíh₃weti (“to live”). The x and c in vīxī and vīctum were introduced by analogy with other verbs.
Cognate with Old English cwic (“alive”) (English quick), Old Church Slavonic жити (žiti), Ancient Greek βίος (bíos), Sanskrit जीवति (jīvati).
=== Pronunciation ===
(Classical Latin) IPA(key): [ˈwiː.woː]
(modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): [ˈviː.vo]
=== Verb ===
vīvō (present infinitive vīvere, perfect active vīxī, supine vīctum); third conjugation, impersonal in the passive
to live
Synonym: dēgō
to be alive, to survive
Synonyms: supersum, supervīvō
to reside in
Synonyms: resideō, habitō, obsideō, cōnsīdō, possideō, subsīdō, stabulō, iaceō, incolō, colō, versō
==== Usage notes ====
This verb is essentially intransitive, and thus has no passive forms. However, some limited passive use is attested:
impersonal passive use: “negat Epicurus, jucunde posse vivi, nisi cum virtute vivatur”: "Epicurus says we cannot live pleasantly unless we live virtuously" (Cic. Tusc. 3, 20, 49)
very rare personal passive use in poetry: “nunc tertia vivitur aetas” (Ov. M. 12, 187)
In later Latin, forms such as vivuntur or vivebantur are attested.
