+

+ ==Etymology==

+ It is [[af|la|studiōsus|-ē|t1=eager, devoted]].^(OLD 2012)^(Georges 1913) The adjective is made from [[m|la|studium|t=zeal]], from [[m|la|studeō|t=to be eager]],^(Köbler 2010) which de Vaan traces to [[itc-pro|*stud-ē-]] and [[ine-pro|*stud-eh₁-|t=to thrust, hit]], a stative “to be thrusting” and so “to strive after”.^(de Vaan 2008)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ Köbler dates it from Cicero,^(Köbler 2010) who uses it often in the sense eagerly or with application.^(Gaffiot 2016)^(Georges 1913)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ It means with serious application to a purpose or activity: ardently, earnestly, attentively, assiduously.^(OLD 2012) Cicero speaks of a man who studies the heavens most eagerly and recommends someone more warmly, and Nepos of prizes offered so that men would arm themselves more zealously.^(Georges 1913)^(Gaffiot 2016) Cicero also uses it in the sense deliberately, of speaking ill of the absent on purpose,^(Georges 1913) and in medieval Latin it means purposely.^(Niermeyer 1976) Wiktionary glosses it “studiously”.^(Wiktionary)
