Latin

edit

Etymology

edit

From Proto-Italic *fuiō, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *bʰuH- (to grow, become, come into being, appear). Compare with fuī, originally the perfect of this verb but now attached to sum (I am); and constructions with -bō, -bam (e.g. amābō, placēbō, nocēbō, monēbam, audiēbam).

The past participle is that of the unrelated verb faciō (I make, do). In Latin faciō and fīō were treated as the active and passive equivalents of each other, an example of suppletion.

Pronunciation

edit

Note: the i in fi- is pronounced long, except when it is followed by er or en.

Verb

edit

fīō (present infinitive fierī, perfect active factus sum); third conjugation, semi-deponent

  1. passive of faciō
  2. (copulative) to become, be made
    Vōs ōrāmus ut discipulī ācerrimī fīātisWe are begging you to become very keen students
  3. to happen, take place, result, arise
    Synonyms: interveniō, ēveniō, obveniō, expetō, obtingō, incurrō, accēdō, incidō, accidō, intercidō, contingō
    ut fitas happens usually/as is customary
    fit utit happens that
  4. to appear

Usage notes

edit

This verb ousted facior, facī in the sense of “to be made”; see also at its active counterpart faciō.

Conjugation

edit

While it does have a fourth conjugation pattern when conjugated, this verb has an irregular infinitive (fierī), and is therefore third conjugation.
