+ '''conclāmō''' (present infinitive conclāmāre, perfect active conclāmāvī, supine conclāmātum); first conjugation^(Wiktionary)

+

+ ==Etymology==

+ It is formed from [[m|la|con-|t=together]] and [[m|la|clāmō|t=to shout]].^(OLD 2012)^(TLL)^(Wiktionary) De Vaan takes ⟨clāmō⟩ as a verb made from a noun meaning “shout”, from [[itc-pro|*klām-o/ā-|t=shout(ing)]] and [[ine-pro|*klh₁-m(o)-]], to the root of [[m|la|calō|t=to call]], [[ine-pro|*kelh₁-|t=to call]], cognate with [[grc|καλέω|tr=kaléō|t=to call]].^(de Vaan 2008)

+

+ Servius took it as “to shout loudly or often”, and a grammarian as to shout with many others.^(TLL)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ The TLL finds it from Plautus,^(TLL) who has “do you want an auction proclaimed?” in the ''Menaechmi''.^(TLL)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ It is to shout aloud, cry out or exclaim, often of many people together, and to acclaim, as Statius' crowd hailing the author of peace; it is to cry out to or invoke, as Seneca's victor calling on all the gods, and Martial uses it of rocks made to ring with lament.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879) In the army it is to give a signal: ''ad arma conclāmāre'' is to call to arms, as Caesar's men who believed the enemy were coming, and ''vāsa conclāmāre'' to give the signal to pack up.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879)^(Wiktionary) It is to call up or summon, as Virgil's Allecto calling out the farmers.^(OLD 2012)^(Wiktionary)

+

+ It is to mourn the dead with loud cries, as Livy's houses that had wailed for their dead, and the impersonal ''conclāmātum est'' means “all is lost”.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879)^(Wiktionary)
