+ ==Forms==
+ '''reclāmō''' (present infinitive reclāmāre, perfect active reclāmāvī, supine reclāmātum); first conjugation^(Wiktionary)
+
+ ==Etymology==
+ It is [[af|la|re-|clāmō|t2=to shout]].^(OLD 2012)^(Wiktionary)^(TLL) De Vaan takes [[m|la|clāmō]] as a verb formed from a noun such as [[itc-pro|*klām-o/ā-|t=shout(ing)]], from [[ine-pro|*kl̥h₁-m(o)-]].^(de Vaan 2008)
+
+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==
+ De Vaan dates it from Lucretius.^(de Vaan 2008)^(Köbler 2010) The TLL notes that Lucretius scans the first syllable long, while Virgil, Horace and Valerius Flaccus have it short.^(TLL)
+
+ ==Semantic evolution==
+ It is to cry out in protest, object loudly: Cicero writes that whole theatres cry out if a little fault is made.^(OLD 2012) With the dative it is to protest against something, as legions against promises in Cicero, and Phaedrus has everyone crying out that an injury must be punished.^(OLD 2012) In poetry it is to call out in response or echo: Valerius Flaccus has a cry of ⟨Hylan⟩ echoed through the wilds, and Statius fields that echo with laments.^(OLD 2012) In the Digest it is to appeal for one's freedom.^(OLD 2012) Church Latin glosses it to cry out against, contradict loudly.^(Stelten 1995) English [[m|en|reclaim]] comes from it, partly through Old French, from the early 14th century, first of calling back a hawk.^(Etymonline)
