+ ==Forms==

+ '''adiectiō''' ''f'' (genitive adiectiōnis); third declension^(Wiktionary)

+ Also spelled ''adjectiō''.^(Wiktionary)^(Lewis & Short 1879)

+

+ ==Etymology==

+ It is [[af|la|adiciō|-tiō|t1=to throw to, add]].^(OLD 2012)^(Wiktionary)^(TLL) [[m|la|adiciō]] is a compound of [[m|la|ad|t=to]] and [[m|la|iaciō|t=to throw]], which de Vaan traces to [[itc-pro|*jak-i-|t=to throw]] and [[ine-pro|*(H)ih₁-k-|t=to throw, let go]], cognate with [[grc|ἵημι|tr=híēmi|t=to send, throw]].^(de Vaan 2008)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ The TLL names Livy as the first to use it,^(TLL) of the Roman state grown by the addition of the Alban people.^(TLL)^(Lewis & Short 1879)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ The TLL counts it twice in Livy, once each in Valerius Maximus, Tacitus and Suetonius, eleven times in Seneca the philosopher, fourteen times in Vitruvius and eighteen in Quintilian.^(TLL) It is the act of adding and the thing added: Vitruvius compares by additions and subtractions, the elder Seneca speaks of a superfluous and bombastic addition that ruined a sentence, and Quintilian of the adding of letters.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879) It can be an additional amount or an increase in price, and the jurists use it for assignment or adjudication and for a mode of naming, a term.^(OLD 2012) Wiktionary also gives the rhetorical sense “repetition”.^(Wiktionary) In medieval Latin it is land added by alluvium.^(Niermeyer 1976)
