editEtymology
editFrom ex- + scandō (“to mount”). The spelling with esc- instead of exsc- is probably caused by a dissimilatory replacement of /eksk/ with /esk/ (as in the word sescentī, standing for sex-centī), not by use of the long-vowel allomorph ē-, which is only regularly found before a voiced consonant (ēpōtō is an isolated exception).[1]
Pronunciation
edit- (Classical Latin) IPA(key): /esˈken.doː/, [ɛs̠ˈkɛn̪d̪oː]
- (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): /eʃˈʃen.do/, [eʃˈʃɛn̪d̪o]
Verb
editescendō (present infinitive escendere, perfect active escendī, supine escēnsum); third conjugation
