+

+ ==Etymology==

+ It is [[af|la|sub-|citō|t1=up from under|t2=to set in motion]].^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879)^(Wiktionary) De Vaan explains [[m|la|citō]] as the frequentative that replaced the old verb [[m|la|cieō|t=to stir, move]], which goes back to a participle [[itc-pro|*kito-|t=stirred]] and an aorist [[ine-pro|*(ḱ)ei(h₂)-|t=to start to move]].^(de Vaan 2008) Cognate with [[grc|κίνυμαι|tr=kínumai|t=to be moved]].^(de Vaan 2008)

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ The OLD's first examples are in Ennius, of augurs who stir up invented opinions for gain, and in Plautus' ''Miles Gloriosus'': “some crimes are stirring you up”.^(OLD 2012) Accius uses it of a ship raising whirlpools.^(OLD 2012)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ It means to make something or someone rise: to rouse from a resting position, to start an animal from its lair, and in Cicero to call a witness to stand up in court.^(OLD 2012) Of things it is to throw up earth or water, as Virgil's ridges of earth thrown up, to prick up the ears, and to raise a building, as Lucretius' new temples set up all over the world.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879) It means to wake from sleep or from a sickbed, to rouse to action, as Virgil's Turnus rousing men to arms, and to awaken feelings, fire or a breeze.^(OLD 2012)
