+ '''concursō''' (present infinitive concursāre, perfect active concursāvī, supine concursātum); first conjugation^(Wiktionary)
+
+ ==Etymology==
+ It is [[af|la|con-|cursō|t2=to run about]], beside [[concurro|alt=concurrō]].^(OLD 2012)^(TLL) The frequentative ⟨cursō⟩ comes from [[m|la|currō|t=to run]], which de Vaan traces to [[itc-pro|*korse/o-|t=to run]] and [[ine-pro|*ḱr̥s-e/o-|t=to run]].^(de Vaan 2008)
+
+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==
+ The TLL finds it from Accius on,^(TLL) who has whirlwinds rising from clashing waves.^(OLD 2012)
+
+ ==Semantic evolution==
+ It is to run together or clash, as Lucretius' seeds clashing and leaping apart, and to assemble.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879) Far more often it is to run to and fro, rush about: Lucilius has someone bawl from the rostra running about, Caesar's Titurius panics and runs about, and Cicero has young men with little beards rushing about.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879) With an object it is to visit in turn, to tour, as Lucilius' fields.^(OLD 2012) In military language Livy uses it of skirmishing.^(Lewis & Short 1879) Late glosses explain it as coming together into one place.^(TLL)
