nutrio

Latin

Etymology

From Proto-Indo-European *snew- (“to suckle”). Cognate with Sanskrit प्रस्नौति (prasnauti, “to drip, to release liquids”), प्रस्नुत (prasnuta, “releasing mother's milk”). Appurtenance of Ancient Greek νάω (naō, “to flow, to stream”) is difficult and requires special pleading (de Vann, 2008).

Verb

present active nūtriō, present infinitive nūtrīre, perfect active nūtrīvī, supine nūtrītum.

1. I suckle.
