+ ==Pronunciation==

+ * Classical: [pɛrˈpɛ.ti.ɔr]^(Wiktionary)

+ * Ecclesiastical: [perˈpɛt.t͡si.or]^(Wiktionary)

+

+ ==Forms==

+ '''perpetior''' (present infinitive perpetī, perfect active perpessus sum); third (-iō variant) conjugation, deponent^(Wiktionary)

+

+ ==Etymology==

+ It is formed from [[m|la|per-|t=thoroughly]] and [[m|la|patior|t=to suffer]].^(OLD 2012)^(Wiktionary)^(Lewis & Short 1879) De Vaan reconstructs [[itc-pro|*pati-]] for ⟨patior⟩ but finds its origin unclear: it may belong with [[grc|πῆμα|tr=pêma|t=suffering]] from a root [[ine-pro|*peh₁-]], or with [[m|ine-pro|*pet-|t=to fly, fall]], “it befalls me”.^(de Vaan 2008)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ The OLD's first examples are from Plautus, as the ''Mercator'': “I will endure the rain, I will bear the toil”.^(OLD 2012)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ It is to undergo hardship or suffering to the full, as in Plautus, and to put up with or tolerate something to the end, as in the ''Menaechmi'', “I cannot stand these outrages”.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879) Plautus already sets it beside the simple verb, as the sick mind that “can neither suffer nor endure”.^(Lewis & Short 1879)

+

+ Church Latin glosses it “endure, undergo, suffer”.^(Stelten 1995)

+

+ ==Timeline==

+ * c. 250–184 BC – Plautus of enduring rain and toil.^(OLD 2012)^(Köbler 2010)
