Latin

[edit]

Etymology

[edit]

From dīrēctus +‎ -iāre (causative verb-forming suffix).

Pronunciation

[edit]
  • IPA(key): /derekˈtʲare/, /drekˈtʲare/

Verb

[edit]

*dīrēctiāre (Proto-Romance)

  1. to guide, direct
  2. to straighten
  3. to put in order

Reconstruction notes

[edit]

For the treatment of the first vowel, cf. drictus and *dērēctus. The assignment of *dīrēctiāre to Proto-Romance proper is precarious as it depends on the single Sardinian form cited below. If the latter is really a later internal formation, or a calque from Italian, then *dīrēctiāre would be assigned to Proto-Italo-Western Romance.
