+

+ ==Pronunciation==

+ * Classical: [rɛˈdɪ.mi.oː]^(Wiktionary)

+ * Ecclesiastical: [reˈdiː.mi.o]^(Wiktionary)

+

+ ==Forms==

+ '''redimiō''' (present infinitive redimīre, perfect active redimiī, supine redimītum); fourth conjugation^(Wiktionary)

+ Virgil has the imperfect ''redimībat''.^(Lewis & Short 1879)

+

+ ==Etymology==

+ The origin is uncertain.^(de Vaan 2008)^(Wiktionary)^(Lewis & Short 1879) De Vaan notes that its isolated position makes an etymology hard to establish; it has been analysed as ⟨red-im-⟩ and connected with [[sa|यमति|tr=yamati|t=holds, restrains]], as the OLD also suggests, and Wiktionary mentions a relation with [[m|la|domō|t=to tame]].^(de Vaan 2008)^(OLD 2012)^(Wiktionary) De Vaan reconstructs a noun [[itc-pro|*do/em-o/i-|t=binding, band]].^(de Vaan 2008) The TLL takes it from an adjective ⟨*redimis⟩ “provided with a band”, made from a noun meaning “band, tie”.^(TLL)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ De Vaan dates it from Lucretius;^(de Vaan 2008) the first example in the OLD is in Cicero, of men embracing shameless women, crowned with garlands.^(OLD 2012)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ It means to encircle with a garland or the like, to wreathe or crown, and in general to surround or encircle, as Catullus' places wreathed with woods.^(OLD 2012) Lewis & Short note that it is mostly poetic and give ''[[cingo|alt=cingō]]'' and ''[[circumdo|alt=circumdō]]'' as synonyms.^(Lewis & Short 1879) Its derivative [[redimiculum|alt=redimīculum]], a band at the back of a woman's headdress, is already in Plautus.^(de Vaan 2008)
