+ '''dēturbō''' (present infinitive dēturbāre, perfect active dēturbāvī, supine dēturbātum); first conjugation^(Wiktionary)

+

+ ==Etymology==

+ It is [[af|la|dē-|turbō|t2=to disturb, throw into confusion]].^(OLD 2012)^(TLL)^(Wiktionary) [[m|la|turbō]] is made from [[m|la|turba|t=turmoil, crowd]], whose origin de Vaan finds uncertain: he doubts the link with [[sa|त्वरते|tr=tvarate|t=hurries]] favoured by Pokorny and Meiser, and also considers [[grc|στρέφω|tr=stréphō|t=to turn]].^(de Vaan 2008)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ Plautus has it first, in the ''Captivi'', of someone who upsets a whole meat rack on arrival.^(OLD 2012)^(Köbler 2010)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ It is to throw down violently, upset, or knock someone from a position: a character in Plautus threatens to knock a man off the battlements, and Caesar has the Romans driven from the rampart with stones.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879) Lewis & Short think it was perhaps first a military word.^(Lewis & Short 1879) Figuratively it is to cast someone down from a position or a state of mind, as Cicero has opponents wishing to remove a consul from guarding the state, and Plautus a storm that knocked out someone's sense of shame.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879) In Nonius it is glossed by [[deicio|alt=dēiciō]] and [[demoveo|alt=dēmoveō]].^(TLL)
