+

+ ==Forms==

+ '''eōdem''' (not comparable)^(Wiktionary)

+ Terence, Lucilius and Lucretius scan it as two syllables.^(OLD 2012)

+

+ ==Etymology==

+ It is formed from [[m|la|eō|t=thither]] and the suffix [[m|la|-dem]], as [[m|la|īdem|t=the same]] is from [[m|la|is|t=he, that]]; the OLD files it under ⟨īdem⟩, and Lewis and Short call it an old dative and ablative of the pronoun.^(Wiktionary)^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879) De Vaan traces ⟨is⟩ to [[ine-pro|*(h₁)i-|t=he, she, it]].^(de Vaan 2008)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ Plautus, ''Mercator'': an old man counts his eighty-four years, ''et eōdem accēdit servitūs'', “and on top of that comes slavery”.^(OLD 2012)^(Köbler 2010)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ It is “to the same place”, and also “in the same direction” or “to the same end”: Cicero says all the towns lean the same way.^(OLD 2012) With verbs of adding it is “to the above”, as in Plautus, and Cicero also uses it of time, “till then”, putting matters off to the same moment.^(OLD 2012) Rarely it means “in the same place”, with a genitive: ''eōdem locī'', “in the same position”.^(Lewis & Short 1879)

+

+ ==Timeline==

+ * c. 250–184 BC – Plautus with verbs of adding.^(OLD 2012)^(Köbler 2010)

+ * 81–43 BC – Cicero of direction, purpose and time.^(OLD 2012)^(Köbler 2010)
