+ ==Forms==

+ '''sēparātim''' (comparative sēparātius, superlative sēparātissimē)^(Wiktionary)

+

+ ==Etymology==

+ It is formed with the suffix [[m|la|-im]] on [[m|la|sēparātus]], the participle of [[m|la|sēparō|t=to separate]].^(OLD 2012)^(Köbler 2010) [[m|la|sēparō]] is [[m|la|sē-|t=apart]] and [[m|la|parō|t=to prepare]],^(OLD 2012) which de Vaan traces to [[itc-pro|*parāje/o-]] and a noun [[ine-pro|*prh₃-o-|t=providing]].^(de Vaan 2008)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ Köbler dates it from the ''Rhetorica ad Herennium''.^(Köbler 2010) Cicero uses it often, as of the gods who love individuals apart from the community.^(Lewis & Short 1879)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ It means apart from each other or from the rest, separately, individually.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879) In Cicero's letters it means in particular, as when he commends one man specially after recommending the envoys of Arpinum together.^(OLD 2012) It also means in the abstract, apart from any particular case, as Cicero contrasts speaking of the whole class with speaking of particular times, persons and causes.^(OLD 2012) Döderlein distinguishes it from [[seorsum]]: what is set apart ''seorsum'' is kept from being common, with a hint of secrecy, while ''sēparātim'' separates to prevent confusion, with a hint of arrangement.^(Döderlein 1874) Church Latin glosses it separately, apart.^(Stelten 1995)
