+ ==Etymology==

+ It is formed from [[m|la|prō-|t=forward]] and [[currō|t=to run]].^(OLD 2012) De Vaan derives ⟨currō⟩ from [[itc-pro|*korse/o-|t=to run]] and [[ine-pro|*kr̥s-e/o-|t=to run]], cognate with [[sga|carr|t=vehicle]] and perhaps with [[ang|hors|t=horse]]; he notes that compounds in ⟨-currō⟩ are often figurative.^(de Vaan 2008)

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ The OLD's earliest quotation is the ''Rhetorica ad Herennium'', of running on ahead beyond the others.^(OLD 2012)

+ It is to run forward or out in front, and very often of troops running forward to attack, as Caesar's skirmishers ordered to charge and Livy's “if the Romans had rushed out more fiercely”.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879) Of things it is to move forward, as the apple that rolls from the girl's lap in Catullus.^(OLD 2012) Valerius Maximus uses it of rushing into a course of action, and of land it is to project or jut out, as Virgil's projecting rocks.^(OLD 2012)^(Wiktionary)
