ēmaneō (present infinitive ēmanēre, perfect active ēmānsī, supine ēmānsum); second conjugation, no passive[1]
Etymology
It is from Latin ex- (“out”) + maneō (“to stay”).[2][1] De Vaan traces ⟨maneō⟩ to Proto-Italic *mn̥-ē-, from Proto-Indo-European *mn̥-eh₁- (“to remain”).[3]
Earliest recorded meaning
Lewis & Short cite Statius' Thebaid, of staying away outside.[4][5] Köbler dates Statius c. 45–96 AD.[6]
Semantic evolution
It meant to stay away, absent oneself, remain outside, as in Statius, and as a military term to stay away beyond one's leave, overstay leave, as in the Digest.[2][4][5]
