+ '''indō''' (present infinitive indere, perfect active indidī, supine inditum); third conjugation^(Wiktionary)
+
+ ==Etymology==
+ It is formed from [[m|la|in-|t=in]] and a verb ⟨*-dō⟩, “to put”, also in [[m|la|abdō|t=to hide]] and [[m|la|condō|t=to put together]].^(OLD 2012)^(Wiktionary) Wiktionary traces this verb to [[ine-pro|*dʰeh₁-|t=to put]]; de Vaan notes that in Latin compounds it merged with [[m|la|dō|t=to give]].^(Wiktionary)^(de Vaan 2008)
+
+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==
+ Plautus, ''Casina'': may the gods curse me ''sī ego in ōs meum hodiē vīnī guttam indidī'', “if I have put a drop of wine in my mouth today”.^(OLD 2012)^(Köbler 2010)
+
+ ==Semantic evolution==
+ It is to put or place in or on: Cato's wreath set on the hearth, salt put into water in Plautus, and wooden shoes put on someone's feet (Cicero).^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879) Plautus also uses it of giving a name: “Six-hundred-strokes” will be your name.^(OLD 2012) Later it is to implant qualities or feelings, as nature gave us mutual love (Seneca), and to introduce customs: Tacitus says Moses brought in new rites opposed to those of all other people.^(OLD 2012) Lewis and Short note it is mostly early or post-Augustan.^(Lewis & Short 1879)
+
+ Church Latin glosses it “put in, put into, give to, introduce”.^(Stelten 1995)
