subsido

Latin

Etymology

From sub- +‎ sīdō.

Pronunciation

• (Classical Latin) IPA^(key): /subˈsiː.doː/, [sʊpˈsiːd̪oː]
• (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA^(key): /subˈsi.do/, [subˈsiːd̪o]

Verb

subsīdō (present infinitive subsīdere, perfect active subsēdī, supine subsessum); third conjugation

1. to crouch, squat, sit down, set down, sink
   • 8 CE, Ovid, Fasti 2.457:

     iam levis oblīqua subsēdit Aquārius urna

     Aquarius crouches down, now lightened [of his burden], his water-jar tilted [emptied].
     Now unburdened, his water-jar emptied, Aquarius sets.
     (A skillful poet's word-play: Ovid's use of subsēdit can be understood as the mythological figure’s crouching stance as he pours out his water-jar, or the setting of the constellation beneath the horizon. See Aquarius (constellation).)

2. to settle, subside

   Synonyms: habitō, obsideō, possideō, resideō, iaceō, cōnsīdō, colō, incolō, stabulō, vīvō, versō
