+ ==Forms==

+ '''suscēnseō''' (present infinitive suscēnsēre, perfect active suscēnsuī); second conjugation, no passive, no supine stem^(Wiktionary)

+ It is also spelled ''succēnseō'', the form under which Lewis & Short and Wiktionary list it.^(Lewis & Short 1879)^(Wiktionary)

+

+ ==Etymology==

+ The OLD and de Vaan take it as [[af|la|sub-|cēnseō|t2=to assess, judge]].^(OLD 2012)^(de Vaan 2008) De Vaan traces [[m|la|cēnseō]] to [[itc-pro|*knsē-|t=to estimate]] and [[ine-pro|*ḱns-eh₁-|t=to announce]].^(de Vaan 2008) Lewis & Short and Wiktionary instead derive the spelling ⟨succēnseō⟩ from [[m|la|succēnsus]], the participle of [[m|la|succendō|t=to set on fire from below]], so that it would first mean to be inflamed with anger.^(Lewis & Short 1879)^(Wiktionary)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ De Vaan dates it from Plautus,^(de Vaan 2008) whose ''Mostellaria'' has “I am neither angry with him nor resentful at all”.^(Lewis & Short 1879)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ It means to be angry or indignant, usually with a dative of the person: Cicero asks who could rightly be angry with him for his studies.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879) Terence and Cicero put the cause of displeasure in the accusative, mostly a neuter pronoun, as in Terence's ''Andria'' if he is angry now because Chremes will not give him a wife.^(OLD 2012) Caesar has the gerundive: no one should be angry with him or his soldiers.^(Lewis & Short 1879) Suetonius has the accusative and infinitive, of Gaius Caesar angry that the streets had not been swept.^(OLD 2012) Lewis & Short give [[irascor|alt=īrāscor]] and [[indignor]] as synonyms.^(Lewis & Short 1879)
