+ '''extundō''' (present infinitive extundere, perfect active extudī, supine extūsum); third conjugation^(Wiktionary)
+
+ ==Etymology==
+ It is [[af|la|ex-|tundō|t2=to beat, pound]].^(OLD 2012)^(Wiktionary)^(Bianchi & Lelli 2014) The simple verb goes back to [[itc-pro|*(s)tund-e/o-]] and [[ine-pro|*(s)tu-n-d-|t=to thrust]], and de Vaan compares [[sa|तुदति|tr=tudáti|t=to thrust, crush]].^(de Vaan 2008)
+
+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==
+ It is found from Plautus on,^(de Vaan 2008)^(Köbler 2010) in the sense of wringing something out of someone: ''prius quam id extudi'', “before I had wrung it out”.^(OLD 2012)
+
+ ==Semantic evolution==
+ Lewis & Short note that it is mostly poetic and post-Augustan, and not found in Cicero or Caesar.^(Lewis & Short 1879) It means to beat or strike, as when Phaedrus’ ass kicks the lion’s forehead, and of a metalworker to hammer out a design in relief, as with the leaping Salii and naked Luperci in Virgil.^(OLD 2012)^(Georges 1913) Virgil also uses it of arts devised little by little with effort, and Celsus of a cough that forces out blood.^(OLD 2012) Nonius glossed it as “extort” and “find out”.^(TLL) Medieval writers used it of breaking pieces off, of striking or coining, and of threshing chaff from grain.^(MLW)
+

+ * c. 250–184 BC – Plautus uses it of extorting something.^(OLD 2012)^(Köbler 2010)
