Latin
[edit]Etymology
[edit]From Proto-Italic *nokeō, from earlier *nokejō, from Proto-Indo-European *noḱé-ye-ti, causative of the root *neḱ- (“perish, disappear”). Cognate with Sanskrit नश्यति (naśyati, “disappear, perish”).
Pronunciation
[edit]- (Classical Latin) IPA(key): /ˈno.ke.oː/, [ˈnɔkeoː]
- (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): /ˈno.t͡ʃe.o/, [ˈnɔːt͡ʃeo]
Verb
[edit]noceō (present infinitive nocēre, perfect active nocuī, supine nocitum); second conjugation
- (with dative) to injure, do harm to, hurt, damage
- c. 50 BCE, Publilius Syrus, Sententiae :
- Bonīs nocet quisquis pepercit malīs.
- He does harm to the good, whoever has been lenient to the bad
- Bonīs nocet quisquis pepercit malīs.
Usage notes
[edit]- The injury caused may be physical or emotional.
Conjugation
[edit]- In practice, the only passive forms met with in Latin are the third-person singular forms.
1At least one use of the archaic "sigmatic future" and "sigmatic aorist" tenses is attested, which are used by Old Latin writers; most notably Plautus and Terence. The sigmatic future is generally ascribed a future or future perfect meaning, while the sigmatic aorist expresses a possible desire ("might want to").
2The present passive infinitive in -ier is a rare poetic form which is attested.
