+ '''iaculor''' (present infinitive iaculārī or iaculārier, perfect active iaculātus sum); first conjugation, deponent^(Wiktionary)

+ The old infinitive ''iaculārier'' occurs in Arnobius.^(Lewis & Short 1879)^(TLL)

+

+ ==Etymology==

+ It is a denominative verb [[der|la|iaculum|t=javelin]],^(OLD 2012)^(TLL) itself from [[m|la|iaciō|t=to throw]].^(Wiktionary)^(de Vaan 2008) The verb [[m|la|iaciō]] goes back to [[itc-pro|*jak-i-|t=to throw]] and to a root [[ine-pro|*(H)yeh₁-|t=to throw, let go]].^(de Vaan 2008) Cognate with [[grc|ἵημι|tr=híēmi|t=to send, throw]].^(de Vaan 2008)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ De Vaan dates it from Lucretius,^(de Vaan 2008) who has it of the atoms that the universe hurls together and of the films that things shoot off.^(OLD 2012)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ Intransitively it is to throw the javelin, as in Cicero's list of riding, javelin-throwing and every kind of military work, and figuratively to snipe at someone with abuse, as in Livy.^(OLD 2012) Transitively it is to strike with a missile, as Horace's Jupiter who strikes the sacred citadels with his right hand, and to throw or hurl anything, also to send out light.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879) Manilius and Lucan use it reflexively, of leaping, and Lucretius and Quintilian of words thrown out quickly.^(OLD 2012)
