+ ==Pronunciation==

+ * Classical: [deˈɪŋ.kɛps], [ˈdɛi̯ŋ.kɛps]^(Wiktionary)

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

+ It is scanned as two syllables in Lucretius and Horace,^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879) as three in Prudentius.^(Lewis & Short 1879)

+

+ ==Etymology==

+ It is formed from [[dein|t=then]] and [[m|la|-ceps]], from [[capiō|t=to take]], like [[princeps]] and [[particeps]].^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879)^(TLL) The adjective, “taking place next”, came first; the TLL explains the adverb as its nominative used with adverbial force.^(OLD 2012)^(TLL) Festus, as reported by Lewis and Short, explains ⟨deinceps⟩ as “who took next”, as ⟨princeps⟩ is “who took first”.^(Lewis & Short 1879) De Vaan traces ⟨capiō⟩ to [[itc-pro|*kap-i-]] and either [[ine-pro|*kh₂p-i-]] or a non-Indo-European ⟨*kap-i-⟩ “to seize”.^(de Vaan 2008)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ Köbler dates it from Sallust;^(Köbler 2010) the OLD quotes it from the ''Rhetorica ad Herennium'', Cicero, Varro and Lucretius,^(OLD 2012) of things in unbroken succession, as Cicero's three brothers who will be tribunes one after another.^(OLD 2012)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ The adverb is in succession or in turn, also with ordinal numbers, as Varro's “I am the seventh in succession of praetorian rank in our family”, and in space one beside or behind another, as Caesar's rafts joined one after another.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879) It marks the next stage of a sequence: after that in time, beyond that in space, as Sallust's “first comes Cyrene, then the two Syrtes”, and then or next in a list.^(OLD 2012) It also means from now on or thereafter, as Cicero's “I wish things may be better from now on”, and ''sīc deinceps'' and ''et deinceps'' are “and so on”.^(OLD 2012)^(Wiktionary)

+

+ The adjective, “next following”, is rare: Festus has ''deincipem'', and Apuleius a new ablative ''deincipite''.^(Lewis & Short 1879)^(TLL) Church Latin uses the adverb for “henceforth, any longer, from now on”.^(Stelten 1995)
