+ ==Pronunciation==

+ * Classical: [ˈan.te.oː]^(Wiktionary)

+ * Ecclesiastical: [an.teˈɛː.o]^(Wiktionary)

+

+ ==Forms==

+ '''anteeō''' (present infinitive anteīre, perfect active anteiī or anteīvī, supine anteitum); irregular conjugation^(Wiktionary)

+ An older form is ''antideō'', as Plautus' ''antidit'' for ''anteit''.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879)

+ In verse ''-ei-'' is often scanned as one syllable.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879)

+

+ ==Etymology==

+ It is formed from [[m|la|ante-|t=before]] and [[eō|t=to go]].^(OLD 2012)^(Wiktionary) The old forms with ⟨antid-⟩ follow the pattern of [[redeō]] and ⟨antideā⟩, to avoid hiatus.^(Wiktionary) De Vaan traces ⟨eō⟩ to [[itc-pro|*ei-]] and [[ine-pro|*h₁ei-|t=to go]].^(de Vaan 2008)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ De Vaan dates it from Plautus,^(de Vaan 2008) who has it first in the sense of surpassing: “virtue surely surpasses all things”.^(OLD 2012)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ It is to walk in front of or precede, as Cicero's lictors going ahead with their fasces, and to outrun, as in Ovid; of things, to move in front.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879) In time it is to come before, and with ''aetāte'' to be older than someone.^(OLD 2012) It is also to anticipate or forestall, as Terence's “I beg you to forestall it while there is time”, and very often to surpass or excel, of persons, qualities or prices.^(OLD 2012) Tacitus uses it for placing oneself above others.^(OLD 2012)

+

+ Church Latin glosses it “go before”.^(Stelten 1995)
