+ '''aliunde''' (not comparable)^(Wiktionary)

+

+ ==Etymology==

+ It is [[af|la|alius|unde|t1=other|t2=whence]], with the stem ⟨ali-⟩.^(OLD 2012)^(Wiktionary)^(TLL) De Vaan traces [[m|la|alius]] to [[itc-pro|*al-jo-|t=another]] and [[ine-pro|*h₂el-io-|t=another]], comparing [[grc|ἄλλος|tr=állos|t=other]].^(de Vaan 2008) Wiktionary compares [[alicunde]].^(Wiktionary)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ Its first quotations are in Plautus: in the ''Poenulus'' someone is to pretend to be a stranger from another town, and in the ''Pseudolus'' someone says “I will give it, don't look elsewhere”.^(OLD 2012)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ It means from another place, from elsewhere, and with ⟨aliō⟩ from place to place: Seneca has the sun moving from place to place, and Livy people gathering, some from one place, some from another.^(OLD 2012) It also means from another source or quarter, or from another person or thing: Cicero holds that the greatest praise of wisdom is not to depend on others.^(OLD 2012) Of material it is of a different stuff: Pliny the Elder says the whole ''Odyssey'' consists of nothing else but magic.^(OLD 2012) Seneca uses ''aliunde aliō'' of people who flit from one desire to another, and it can also mean for a different reason.^(OLD 2012) Lewis & Short note that it is most frequent in Cicero, and the TLL that it is rare in the poets.^(Lewis & Short 1879)^(TLL) Church Latin glosses it by another way, from another person or place.^(Stelten 1995)
