reicio

Latin

Etymology

From re- +‎ iaciō (“throw, hurl”).

Pronunciation

• (Classical) IPA^(key): /ˈrei̯.ki.oː/, [ˈrɛi̯kioː]
• (Literary) (Classical) IPA^(key): /rei̯ˈi̯i.ki.oː/, [rɛi̯ˈi̯ɪkioː]
• (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA^(key): /reˈji.t͡ʃi.o/, [reˈjiːt͡ʃio]
• Note: both syllabifications occur when allowed by the meter; the shorter form probably original, the longer an analogical restoration, as with other compounds of iaciō.
