Etymology[edit]

From Ancient Greek φῖ (phî, “the letter Φ”).

Pronunciation[edit]

  • IPA(key): /ˈfio/
  • Hyphenation: fi‧o

Noun[edit]

fio (accusative singular fion, plural fioj, accusative plural fiojn)

  1. phi

Italian[edit]

Etymology[edit]

From Old French fieu (“fief”), from Frankish *fehu, from Proto-Germanic *fehu, from Proto-Indo-European *peḱu- (“livestock”).

Noun[edit]

fio m (plural fii)

  1. retribution
  2. penalty

Latin[edit]

Etymology[edit]

From Proto-Italic *fuiō, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *bʰuH- (“to grow, become, come into being, appear”). Compare with fuī, originally the perfect of this verb but now attached to sum (“to be”); and constructions with -bō, -bam (e.g. amābō, placēbō, nocēbō, monēbam, audiēbam).

The past participle is that of the unrelated verb faciō (“I make, do”). In Latin faciō and fīō were treated as the active and passive equivalents of each other, leading to suppletion.

Pronunciation[edit]

Verb[edit]

fīō (present infinitive fierī, perfect active -); irregular conjugation, semi-deponent

  1. (copulative) I become, am made
    Vos oramus ut discipuli acerrimi fiatis.
    We are begging you so that you may become very keen students.
  2. I happen
  3. I take place
