Preposition
ad (+ accusative)
- (direction) toward, to, on, up to, for
- c. 77 CE – 79 CE, Pliny the Elder, Naturalis Historia 2:

Usage notes
- The word ad is an antithesis to ab (just as in is to ex; in a progressive order of relation, ad denotes, first, the direction toward an object; then the reaching of or attaining to it; and finally, the being at or near it.)
- Often used of geographical position of a place in reference to the points of compass, with the verbs iaceō (“lie, be situated”), vergō (“incline, slope”), spectō (“observe, see”) etc.:
- Asia iacet ad meridiem et austrum, Europa ad septentriones et aquilonem.
- Asia lies near the prime meridian and the south, Europe near the northern regions and northern wind. (There are two words for north.)
- Ad Atticam vergente.
- Inclining to Attic.
- Asia iacet ad meridiem et austrum, Europa ad septentriones et aquilonem.
- When appended to the beginning of a word, ad often becomes ap- when followed by ‘p’, as in appretiō, from pretium. But note that adpretiō is also found.
