+ '''ingeminō''' (present infinitive ingemināre, perfect active ingemināvī, supine ingeminātum); first conjugation^(Wiktionary)

+

+ ==Etymology==

+ It is [[af|la|in-|geminō|t2=to double]].^(OLD 2012)^(Wiktionary)^(TLL) That verb comes from [[m|la|geminus|t=twin]], which de Vaan traces to [[itc-pro|*jemno-|t=paired]] and [[ine-pro|*iemH-no-|t=paired, connected]].^(de Vaan 2008)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ The TLL finds it from Virgil, the ''Aetna'', Ovid and Manilius on, and in prose from Tertullian.^(TLL) Virgil uses it of men raining blows on each other's hollow sides.^(OLD 2012)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ It is to do something two or more times, to repeat or redouble, as blows or terror; to utter repeatedly, to re-echo, as Virgil's ravens repeating their clear cries three or four times; and to double in number or degree, as Ovid's doubling of the enemy's strength.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879) Intransitively it is to be redoubled, to grow stronger, of natural forces and passions: in Virgil the south winds and the rain redouble.^(OLD 2012) Late glosses explain it as ''iterat'', ''duplicant''.^(TLL)
