+ '''praebeō''' (present infinitive praebēre, perfect active praebuī, supine praebitum); second conjugation^(Wiktionary)

+ Plautus has the old infinitive ''praeberier''.^(Lewis & Short 1879)^(OLD 2012)

+ Late inscriptions spell it ''pre-''.^(TLL)

+

+ ==Etymology==

+ It is contracted from [[praehibeō]], formed [[af|la|prae-|habeō|t2=to have, hold]], “to hold out before”.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879)^(TLL)^(Wiktionary) The TLL compares [[grc|παρέχω|tr=parékhō|t=to provide]].^(TLL) De Vaan derives [[m|la|habeō]] from [[itc-pro|*xabē-|t=to have, hold]], from [[ine-pro|*gʰh₁bʰ-|t=to take]].^(de Vaan 2008)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ Plautus has ''ut modestē ōrātiōnem praebuit!'', “how modestly she delivered her speech!”, and ''piscātōrēs, quī praebent populō piscīs foetidōs'', “fishmongers who supply the people with stinking fish”.^(OLD 2012)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ ''Praebēre'' is first to hold something out within sight or reach, “to present, show”, then to offer for acceptance, and to expose oneself or one's body to something unpleasant.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879)^(Wiktionary) Its commonest sense is “to provide, supply, furnish”, also of services, conditions and opportunities, and it means “to cause, produce” (an impression, fear).^(OLD 2012)^(Wiktionary) With a reflexive pronoun ''sē praebēre'' is “to show oneself, behave” (as brave, as a friend).^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879)^(Stelten 1995)

+

+ Döderlein says ''praebēre'' and ''[[exhibeō|alt=exhibēre]]'' denote a voluntary act that satisfies a need or wish of the receiver.^(Döderlein 1874) Church Latin glosses it “grant, furnish, offer, hold out, exhibit, yield, show”.^(Stelten 1995) Its derivatives include ''[[praebenda]]''.^(Wiktionary)
