taedeo

Latin

Etymology

Of uncertain origin; proposed derivations include:

• A relation with taeter (“foul, loathsome”).
• From a Proto-Indo-European root common with Lithuanian tingùs (“lazy”), Proto-Slavic *tęžьkъ (“heavy”) and maybe Ancient Greek σικχός (sikkhós, “squeamish, fastidious person”).

Pronunciation

• (Classical Latin) IPA^(key): /ˈtae̯.de.oː/, [ˈt̪äe̯d̪eoː]
• (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA^(key): /ˈte.de.o/, [ˈt̪ɛːd̪eo]

Verb

taedeō (present infinitive taedēre, perfect active taeduī, supine taesum); second conjugation

1. (Late Latin) to be disgusted or offended
2. (Late Latin) to be tired, weary or sick of
   • 29 BCE – 19 BCE, Virgil, Aeneid 4.450–451:

     Tum vērō īnfēlīx fātīs exterrita Dīdō
     mortem ōrat; taedet caelī convexa tuērī.

     Then truly tragic, terrified by destiny, Dido prays for death; she wearies to view the vault of heaven.
     (In other words, Dido experiences dire portents and withdraws from the light of day or everyday life.)
