+ '''ēvincō''' (present infinitive ēvincere, perfect active ēvīcī, supine ēvictum); third conjugation^(Wiktionary)

+ ==Etymology==
+ It is [[af|la|ex-|vincō|t2=to conquer]].^(OLD 2012)^(Wiktionary) De Vaan traces ⟨vincō⟩ to [[itc-pro|*wink-|t=to tie, bind; overcome]], [[ine-pro|*wi-n-k-|t=to bend, tie]].^(de Vaan 2008)

+
+ ==Semantic evolution==
+ It meant to win a way past an obstacle, as in Virgil; to overcome, rise above, subdue conditions, as in Ovid; to defeat utterly and to overcome resistance, persuade, as in Tacitus; and in law, as in Quintilian, to recover possession of property by judgement.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879)
+
+ In Ecclesiastical Latin it means to bring about, induce, prevail, vanquish.^(Stelten 1995) English ''evict'' (mid-15th century) is from its participle ''ēvictus'', and ''evince'' (c. 1600) from it through French ''évincer''.^(Etymonline)
