+ '''concinnō''' (present infinitive concinnāre, perfect active concinnāvī, supine concinnātum); first conjugation^(Wiktionary)

+

+ ==Etymology==

+ Its origin is uncertain.^(OLD 2012)^(TLL) Wiktionary takes it as a verb [[der|la|concinnus|t=well arranged, elegant]], from [[m|la|con-]] and [[m|la|cinnus]].^(Wiktionary) Nonius derived it from [[m|la|cinnus]], which he says was a drink made of many liquids, and the TLL thinks he may be right.^(TLL) The OLD only compares that word.^(OLD 2012)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ The TLL finds it from Naevius and Plautus on; in Plautus a bird-catcher gets his fowling floor ready.^(TLL)^(OLD 2012)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ It is to make ready or repair, and to arrange suitably: Festus explains it as putting together fitly, and Seneca uses it of Corinthian bronzes arranged with fussy care.^(OLD 2012)^(TLL) Plautus, who uses it most, has it of making up great piles of dishes, of raising bruises on a slave's shoulders, and of making a wife weep at a departure.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879) Lewis & Short note that it is mostly ante-classical and post-Augustan.^(Lewis & Short 1879) The grammarian Dositheus records a deponent concinnor.^(TLL) Church Latin glosses it to fit together carefully, frame, contrive, prepare.^(Stelten 1995)
