+

+ ==Forms==

+ '''receptus''' ''m'' (genitive receptūs); fourth declension^(Wiktionary)

+

+ ==Etymology==

+ The noun is [[af|la|recipiō|-tus|t1=to take back, receive]].^(OLD 2012)^(TLL) The verb is formed with [[m|la|re-]] on [[capiō|t=to take]], which de Vaan traces to [[itc-pro|*kapiō|alt=*kap-i-|t=to seize]], either from [[ine-pro|*keh₂p-|alt=*kh₂p-i-]] or from a non-Indo-European ⟨*kap-⟩; he compares [[grc|κάπτω|tr=káptō|t=to gulp down]] and [[got|𐌷𐌰𐍆𐌾𐌰𐌽|tr=hafjan|t=to lift]].^(de Vaan 2008)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ Köbler dates it from Cicero, and the TLL finds it in prose from Cicero and his correspondents, Caesar, Sallust and Livy.^(Köbler 2010)^(TLL)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ It is first the act of getting back, recovery, and above all withdrawal, retreat: Caesar says the retreat was hampered by the crowd of men, and ''receptuī canere'' is to sound the retreat, as when Caesar ordered the signal.^(OLD 2012) Pompey writes of not losing his line of retreat.^(OLD 2012) It is also a place of refuge, as Virgil's safe retreat, and a recess.^(OLD 2012) Quintilian speaks of breath that is hard to draw back, and Lewis and Short give the figurative sense “retraction” of an opinion.^(Lewis & Short 1879)

+

+ In Medieval Latin it was the lodging a lord could demand from a vassal, and the right to use a castle in time of war.^(Niermeyer 1976)
