+

+ ==Etymology==

+ It is [[af|la|faciō|-essō|t1=to do, make]], an intensive verb like [[m|la|capessō]] from [[m|la|capiō]].^(OLD 2012)^(Wiktionary)^(Lewis & Short 1879) De Vaan traces [[m|la|faciō]] to [[itc-pro|*fak-i-]] and to the aorist of [[ine-pro|*dʰeh₁-|t=to put]], whose ⟨k⟩ spread through the whole verb in Italic.^(de Vaan 2008)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ Plautus uses it in the ''Menaechmi'' of carrying out an order,^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879) and Ennius has robbers carrying out commands and tells people to be off.^(Lewis & Short 1879)^(OLD 2012)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ Transitively it is to do eagerly, carry out, mostly in poetry: Ennius' robbers carry out orders, and Virgil has commands and a mother's instructions done;^(Lewis & Short 1879) Ovid tells a lover to play a thousand jokes.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879) In Cicero's usage it means to cause trouble: to make difficulties for someone, to bring a danger on an innocent man,^(Lewis & Short 1879) and in law ''rem facessere'' is to bring a case as plaintiff.^(OLD 2012) Intransitively it means to go away, be off: Cicero wants certain people to keep away from all part in the state for a while, and Livy has people ordered out of the city.^(Lewis & Short 1879) Plautus' ''Rudens'' plays on both senses: one man says he is pressing his case, the other that if he were decent he would clear off.^(Lewis & Short 1879) Stelten gives "depart, do eagerly, cause" for Church Latin.^(Stelten 1995)
