+

+ ==Forms==

+ '''restituō''' (present infinitive restituere, perfect active restituī, supine restitūtum); third conjugation^(Wiktionary)

+

+ ==Etymology==

+ It is formed [[af|la|re-|statuō|t1=back, again|t2=to set up]].^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879)^(Wiktionary) The verb [[m|la|statuō]] is made from the noun [[m|la|status]], which de Vaan derives from [[itc-pro|*statu-|t=setting up]], from [[ine-pro|*sth₂tu-|t=placement]], from the root of [[m|la|stō|t=to stand]].^(de Vaan 2008)^(Wiktionary)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ Ennius has the famous line on Fabius Cunctator, ''ūnus homō nōbīs cunctandō restituit rem'', “one man restored our state by delaying”.^(OLD 2012) Terence has ''forēs effrēgit: restituentur'', “he broke the doors down: they will be put back up”.^(OLD 2012)^(Köbler 2010)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ ''Restituere'' is first “to set up again, rebuild”, and of a battle line “to re-form”.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879) It is to make a person or the body sound again, to calm the mind, and to revive a person's strength or a community's fortunes, as in Ennius' line.^(OLD 2012)^(Wiktionary) It also means to bring an institution or practice back into use, “to re-establish”, and to put a thing back in its place.^(OLD 2012)^(Wiktionary)

+

+ In public and legal life it is to restore a person to a position, especially exiles to their country (''in patriam restituere''), and ''in integrum restituere'' is to restore someone's full rights or undo a transaction.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879) Church Latin glosses it “to replace, return, re-establish”.^(Stelten 1995) English [[m|en|restitute]], “to restore”, comes from its participle about 1500.^(Etymonline)
