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

+

+ ==Etymology==

+ It is formed from [[m|la|alius|t=other]] with the adverbial ending ⟨-ō⟩ of direction.^(OLD 2012)^(TLL)^(Wiktionary) De Vaan derives ⟨alius⟩ from [[itc-pro|*al-jo-|t=another]] and [[ine-pro|*h₂el-io-|t=another]].^(de Vaan 2008) Cognate with [[osc|allo|t=other]], [[grc|ἄλλος|tr=állos|t=other]], [[got|𐌰𐌻𐌾𐌹𐍃|tr=aljis|t=other]] and [[sga|aile|t=other]].^(de Vaan 2008)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ The TLL finds it first in Plautus;^(TLL) in the ''Mostellaria'' a man thinks his son “has gone off elsewhere to a party”.^(OLD 2012)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ It is to another place, in another direction, elsewhere, and ''aliō … aliō'' is in one direction … in another.^(OLD 2012)^(TLL) It is also to another person, as Plautus' ''aliō nūbere'', to marry someone else, and to another source.^(OLD 2012)

+

+ Figuratively it is to another course of action, as Cicero's “my whole life must be turned another way”, to another subject, as Plautus' “my speech must be changed to something else”, and to another purpose.^(OLD 2012) Church Latin glosses it “elsewhere, to another person or place”.^(Stelten 1995)
