Latin

Etymology

Uncertain. Several different etymologies have been proposed:

  • From *anditō, alteration of *ambitō, frequentative of ambiō (“to pass around, encircle”).
  • From *anditō, alteration of aditō, frequentative of adeō (“to go to, approach”).
  • Alteration of *amnō, assimilated from *amlō, from a Vulgar Latin form of ambulō (“to travel, walk”).
  • From annō (“to swim to”), possibly through frequentatives *annulō or *annitō

The relationship between this verb and Catalan and Occitan anar (“to go”) is uncertain.

Pronunciation
  • IPA(key): /ˈando/

Verb

*andō (present infinitive *andāre, perfect active *andāvī, supine *andātum); first conjugation

  1. to go.

Reconstruction notes

Italo-Romance and North Italian descendants are only partial, as they replace the stem with the one of vādō, vādere in stressed position.
