Latin

Etymology

    Ultimately from Proto-Italic *emō, from Proto-Indo-European *h₁em-. By surface analysis, sub +‎ emō (“to buy, take”), with excrescent p in sūmpsī and sūmptum. According to Sihler, the term derives from earlier *susmō, from Proto-Italic *sups-(e)mō, from *emō.[1][2] It is likely that this Latin term is related to Umbrian sumtu, although Buck argues that the Umbrian term cannot be explained from *sups-(e)mō.[3] Instead, Buck suggests that the Umbrian term must derive from *sup(e)mō, which—according to Poultney—is the source for both the Umbrian and the Latin term.[4] According to De Vaan, the perfect form sūmpsī is a later innovation that emerged because the term was no longer synchronically identifiable with emō.[5] Sextus Pompeius Festus provides attestation for two additional perfect forms surēmi and surēmpsī. De Vaan suggests that these forms may derive from earlier Proto-Italic *suz-ēm-, itself from earlier *subs-ēm-. Alternatively, De Vaan proposes that these terms were remodeled after verbs such as suscipiō.

    1At least one use of the Old Latin "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").
