Verb edit

patēscō (present infinitive patēscere, perfect active patuī); third conjugation, no passive, no supine stem

to be opening, being revealed, being disclosed
to be exposed to
Synonym: pateo
to become known
to extend or stretch out

Usage notes edit

Like most inchoative verbs, patēscō is intransitive and tends to imply a change of state or ongoing action. When the state of being open has been achieved, the verb patēo is used, though the distinction is less apparent in the figurative senses. The verbs patefaciō and aperiō are common corresponding transitive verbs which mean "to open [something]".
