Reconstruction:Latin/directiare

 This Latin entry contains reconstructed terms and roots. As such, the term(s) in this entry are not directly attested, but are hypothesized to have existed based on comparative evidence.

Latin edit

Etymology edit

From dīrēctus +‎ -iāre (causative verb-forming suffix).

Pronunciation edit

  • IPA(key): /derekˈtʲare/, /drekˈtʲare/

Verb edit

*dīrēctiāre (Proto-Romance)

  1. to guide, direct
  2. to straighten
  3. to put in order

Reconstruction notes edit

For the treatment of the first vowel, cf. drictus and *dērēctus. The assignment of *dīrēctiāre to Proto-Romance proper is precarious as it depends on the single Sardinian form cited below. If the latter is really a later internal formation, or a calque from Italian, then *dīrēctiāre would be assigned to Proto-Italo-Western Romance.

Descendants edit
