+

+ ==Pronunciation==

+ * Classical: [rɛˈkɪ.pɛ.roː]^(Wiktionary)

+ * Ecclesiastical: [reˈt͡ʃiː.pe.ro]^(Wiktionary)

+

+ ==Forms==

+ '''reciperō''' (present infinitive reciperāre, perfect active reciperāvī, supine reciperātum); first conjugation^(Wiktionary)

+ It is also spelled ''recuperō''.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879)^(Stelten 1995)

+

+ ==Etymology==

+ The OLD derives it from [[recipiō|t=to take back]], comparing [[tolerō]] for the ending;^(OLD 2012) Wiktionary also gives ⟨recipiō⟩.^(Wiktionary) De Vaan treats it under [[capiō|t=to take, seize]] and explains ⟨recuperāre⟩ as ⟨*-kapizā-⟩, with a suffix ⟨*-sā-⟩ added to the present stem ⟨*kap-i-⟩.^(de Vaan 2008) He derives ⟨capiō⟩ from [[itc-pro|*kap-i-]], perhaps [[ine-pro|*kh₂p-i-|t=to seize]], cognate with [[grc|κάπτω|tr=káptō|t=to gulp down]] and [[got|𐌷𐌰𐍆𐌾𐌰𐌽|tr=hafjan|t=to lift]].^(de Vaan 2008)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ Köbler and the OLD date it from Cicero,^(Köbler 2010) who speaks of a man trying to recover some of his own property.^(OLD 2012)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ It is to recover or get back money and goods, people such as prisoners and estranged friends, territory, and abstract things: Cicero asks whether the senate wished to recover Roman prisoners from Carthage by returning theirs, and speaks of Asia recovered after the consulship of Sulla and Pompeius.^(OLD 2012) Varro uses it of recovering the oblique cases from the nominative by reasoning.^(OLD 2012) It is also to restore or revive, as a wife who will restore an old man's strength by nursing him, and ''rem pūblicam reciperāre'', to restore the Republic.^(OLD 2012)

+

+ Church Latin has it for restore, recover, revive.^(Stelten 1995)
