Etymology 1

[edit]

From Proto-Italic *loidō, from an o-grade form of Proto-Indo-European *leyd- (to play), perhaps reduplicated present *lé-loyd-ti ~ *lé-lid-n̥ti through dissimilation.[1][2][3][4] Cognate with Ancient Greek λίζω (lízō, to play).

Verb

[edit]

lūdō (present infinitive lūdere, perfect active lūsī, supine lūsum); third conjugation

  1. to play (a game or sport)
    Synonym: iocor
  2. to frolic, behave playfully
  3. to practice, amuse oneself with

    • 160 BCE, Publius Terentius Afer, Adelphoe 605–607:
      Omnēs, quibus rēs sunt minus secundae, magis sunt nesciō quō modō / suspitiōsī: ad contumēliam omnia accipiunt magis; / propter suam inpotentiam sē semper crēdunt lūdier.
      All those people whose affairs are unsuccessful are in some way — I know not how — more suspicious: they take everything more readily as an insult. Because of their own disadvantage, they always think they’re being taken advantage of.
      (Archaic passive infinitive, equivalent to lūdī.)
