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

+

+ ==Etymology==

+ It is [[af|la|quandō|-que|t1=when]].^(OLD 2012)^(Wiktionary)^(Köbler 2010) De Vaan lists it among the words formed with the particle [[m|la|-dam]], with ⟨quandō⟩, [[dōnec|t=until]] and [[dōnicum|t=until]], from a demonstrative [[ine-pro|*de|t=here]].^(de Vaan 2008)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ De Vaan and Köbler date it from the Twelve Tables,^(de Vaan 2008)^(Köbler 2010) which have “QVANDOQVE SARPTA, DONEC DEMPTA ERVNT” (whenever they have been pruned, until they are removed).^(Lewis & Short 1879)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ As a relative it is “at whatever time, whenever”: Cato tells his son that whenever the Greeks give Rome their literature, they will corrupt everything.^(OLD 2012) Cicero also uses it causally, “inasmuch as”.^(OLD 2012) As an indefinite it is “at some time or other, some day”, as in Cicero's “I shall wait until he comes some day”, and Seneca's “one must die somewhere, some time”.^(OLD 2012)

+

+ Church Latin has it for “at some time” and as a conjunction “whenever, as often as, since”,^(Stelten 1995) and Medieval Latin also for “at last, finally”.^(Niermeyer 1976)
