+ '''ēvādō''' (present infinitive ēvādere, perfect active ēvāsī, supine ēvāsum); third conjugation^(Wiktionary)
+ Horace and Silius have the contracted perfect ''ēvāstī''.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879)
+ Trebellius Pollio has a perfect ''ēvādī''.^(Lewis & Short 1879)
+
+ ==Etymology==
+ It is formed [[af|la|ex-|vādō|t1=out|t2=to go]].^(OLD 2012)^(Wiktionary)^(Etymonline) De Vaan lists it among the derivatives of ⟨vādō⟩, which he traces to [[itc-pro|*wāþe/o-]] and [[ine-pro|*ueh₂dʰ-|t=to advance]], the root of [[vadum|t=ford]].^(de Vaan 2008)
+
+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==
+ Plautus, ''Rudens'': ''salvast, ēvāsit ex aquā'', “she's safe, she has got out of the water”.^(OLD 2012)^(de Vaan 2008)
+
+ ==Semantic evolution==
+ ''Ēvādō'' is to go or come out (Cicero), to go up, climb (Virgil: she had climbed the high steps), and to pass through or beyond (Sallust of Numidian horses passing easily through brushwood).^(OLD 2012) Above all it is to get clear, escape, from a place or from danger and illness (Cicero: a sick man recovering), and transitively to escape past or from something.^(OLD 2012)^(Wiktionary) It also means to exceed, and to live beyond a time: Augustus, quoted by Gellius, writes that he has passed his sixty-third year.^(OLD 2012) From going out it came to mean arriving at a result, turning out or ending (Plautus: I wonder where the fable will end up), with a predicate “to turn out to be, become” (Lucilius), and to come true (Cicero of dreams).^(OLD 2012)^(Wiktionary)
+
+ Church Latin glosses it “evade, escape”.^(Stelten 1995) English ''evade'' (1510s) came from French ''évader''.^(Etymonline)
