Latin[edit]
Etymology[edit]
From dis- (privative) + ment- (“mind”) + -icāre (verb-forming suffix).
Pronunciation[edit]
Verb[edit]
*dismenticāre (Proto-Italo-Western-Romance)
Reconstruction[edit]
The outcomes without /d/ seem to reflect sporadic substitution of the prefix dis- with ex-. (Interchange between the two privatives is common, especially in Italy.) The preponderance of the /d/ forms,[1] however, suggests that *dismenticāre is original.
