+ ==Pronunciation==

+ * Classical: [ˈsʊb.doː]^(Wiktionary)

+ * Ecclesiastical: [ˈsub.do]^(Wiktionary)

+

+ ==Forms==

+ '''subdō''' (present infinitive subdere, perfect active subdidī, supine subditum); third conjugation^(Wiktionary)

+

+ ==Etymology==

+ It is formed from [[m|la|sub-|t=under]] and the verb ⟨-dō⟩ found in compounds such as [[m|la|abdō|t=to hide]].^(OLD 2012)^(Wiktionary) Latin compounds in ⟨-dō⟩ can continue either [[ine-pro|*dʰeh₁-|t=to put]] or [[m|ine-pro|*deh₃-|t=to give]]; following Walde–Hofmann and Ernout–Meillet, de Vaan counts it among those that may go back to “put”, through the present [[itc-pro|*-þō]].^(de Vaan 2008)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ De Vaan gives Livius Andronicus as its first author.^(de Vaan 2008) In a tragedy of his a woman says she will put the child to her maid's breast (''puerum … ancillae subdam lactantem meae'').^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ It is to place or insert below, as Cato's topsoil put under a planted tree and fire set under a cauldron, and to apply spurs (Livy).^(OLD 2012) It is to append, to place something under another's action, to expose to winds, as Seneca's Acharnian fields under warm south winds, and to subject to a person's rule (Propertius).^(OLD 2012)^(Wiktionary) It is also to supply or implant qualities, as honours that put pride into a man (Livy).^(OLD 2012)

+

+ Often it is to introduce or substitute fraudulently, as a man put up as the accused and a rumour spread on purpose (Tacitus), and to pass off a supposititious child, as in Terence, where a young man suspects he is not his parents' son.^(OLD 2012)^(Wiktionary) A law preserved in an inscription uses it of appointing a deputy in place of an official.^(OLD 2012) Church Latin glosses it “subdue, subject, put under, supply”.^(Stelten 1995)
