+ '''longinquus''' (feminine longinqua, neuter longinquum, comparative longinquior, adverb longinquē or longinquō); first/second-declension adjective^(Wiktionary)

+ It is also spelled ''longincus''.^(OLD 2012)

+

+ ==Etymology==

+ It is formed from [[m|la|longē|t=far]] (or [[m|la|longus|t=long]]) with the suffix [[m|la|-inquus]], as the opposite of [[m|la|propinquus|t=near]].^(de Vaan 2008)^(OLD 2012)^(TLL) The OLD compares the ending of [[grc|ποδαπός|tr=podapós|t=from what country?]].^(OLD 2012) De Vaan derives ⟨longus⟩ from [[itc-pro|*(d)longo-]] and [[ine-pro|*dlongʰ-o-|t=long]], cognate with [[got|𐌻𐌰𐌲𐌲𐍃|tr=laggs|t=long]] and [[goh|lang|t=long]].^(de Vaan 2008)

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ Plautus is its first author,^(Köbler 2010) who has ''vītam longinquam'', “a long life”, in the ''Miles gloriosus''.^(OLD 2012)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ In space it is distant or remote, as Cicero's “deserted and distant fields”, of wars and service far from home, as in Livy, and of things that come from far off or blows dealt from a distance; the neuter gives ''ex longinquō'' “from far away” and ''in longinquum'' “into the distance”.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879) It is also long in extent, as Pliny's long fishing line, and of sounds far-carrying.^(OLD 2012)

+

+ In time it is remote, past or future, or long-lasting, as Plautus' long life and Caesar's prolonged war;^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879)^(Wiktionary) Lewis and Short also give foreign or strange of people living far off.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879)^(Wiktionary) Church Latin uses ''dē longinquō'' or ''ex longinquō'', “from afar”.^(Stelten 1995)
