Latin

Etymology

  • From dīrēctus +‎ -iāre (causative verb-forming suffix).

    Pronunciation

    • IPA(key): /derekˈtʲare/, /drekˈtʲare/

    Verb

    *dīrēctiāre (Proto-Romance)

    1. to guide, direct
    2. to straighten
    3. to put in order

    Reconstruction notes

    For the treatment of the first vowel, cf. drictus and *dērēctus. The assignment of *dīrēctiāre to Proto-Romance proper is precarious as it depends on the single Sardinian form cited below. If the latter is really a later internal formation, or a calque from Italian, then *dīrēctiāre would be assigned to Proto-Italo-Western Romance.
