Usage notes
editLike 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]".
Conjugation
edit- Note: perfect forms are shared with pateō.
