+

+ ==Forms==

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

+

+ ==Etymology==

+ It is a compound of [[m|la|per-]] and [[m|la|inde|t=from there, thence]].^(OLD 2012)^(Wiktionary)^(Köbler 2010) The TLL notes that, unlike [[m|la|proinde|t=therefore]], with which manuscripts often confuse it, it lacks the inferential sense “therefore” in early Latin and has no old form in ⟨-in⟩.^(TLL)^(Lewis & Short 1879)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ Köbler gives Plautus as its first author.^(Köbler 2010) In the ''Stichus'' it is a correlative: as a man's fortune stands, so does he treat his friends (''ut … perinde'').^(OLD 2012)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ It marks the agreement of two things, “in the same way (as)”, with ⟨ut⟩, ⟨atque⟩ or ⟨quasi⟩, as Plautus' “you treat your absent husbands just as if they were here”, and alone “correspondingly, likewise”.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879) With a negative, as in Tacitus, ''nōn perinde'' is “not particularly, not as much as one might expect”.^(OLD 2012) It also marks equal degree, “as much as, equally”, as in Pliny the Elder.^(OLD 2012)

+

+ Church Latin glosses it “in like manner, just as”.^(Stelten 1995)
