+ ==Forms==
+ '''dēnuō''' (not comparable)^(Wiktionary)
+
+ ==Etymology==
+ It is [[af|la|dē|novus|t1=from|t2=new]], from the phrase ⟨*dē novōd⟩, which does not itself occur.^(de Vaan 2008)^(Wiktionary)^(Lewis & Short 1879) De Vaan traces [[m|la|novus]] to [[itc-pro|*nowo-]] and [[ine-pro|*neuo-|t=new, young]], comparing [[sa|नव|tr=náva-|t=new, young]] and [[grc|νέος|tr=néos|t=new, young]].^(de Vaan 2008) Wiktionary compares French [[m|fr|de nouveau|t=again]].^(Wiktionary)
+
+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==
+ De Vaan and Köbler date it from Plautus,^(de Vaan 2008)^(Köbler 2010) in whose ''Amphitruo'' someone fears his face will be remodelled anew.^(OLD 2012)
+
+ ==Semantic evolution==
+ It means from a fresh beginning, anew, and a second time, again: in the ''Rudens'' a man says that if he was not understood he will say it again.^(OLD 2012) It is also used of restoring things as they were, “I will put on my cloak again”, and of a new stage in a process, “then again”.^(OLD 2012) Lewis & Short find it most often in Plautus and Terence, rarely elsewhere, and not in Caesar or the Augustan poets.^(Lewis & Short 1879) Döderlein distinguishes it, “anew”, from [[iterum]] “a second time”, [[rursus]] “again” and ⟨dē integrō⟩ “quite afresh”.^(Döderlein 1874) Church Latin glosses it again, a second time, anew.^(Stelten 1995)
