+

+ ==Forms==

+ '''ēnāscor''' (present infinitive ēnāscī, perfect active ēnātus sum); third conjugation, deponent^(Wiktionary)

+

+ ==Etymology==

+ It is [[af|la|ex-|nāscor|t2=to be born]].^(OLD 2012)^(Wiktionary)^(TLL) De Vaan derives the simple verb from [[itc-pro|*gnāsk-e/o-]] and [[ine-pro|*ǵnh1-sk-e/o-|t=to be born]], and compares Paelignian [[m|pgn|cnatois|t=sons]] and [[sa|जात|tr=jātá-|t=born man, son]].^(de Vaan 2008)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ The TLL finds it first among the poets in Lucretius (96–55 BC) and in prose in Varro (116–27 BC),^(TLL)^(Köbler 2010) who writes of a stalk sprouting more slowly from the seed and of two teeth growing out of the chin.^(OLD 2012)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ It means to spring up or grow out of something, above all of plants: the TLL finds it most often in the writers on agriculture.^(TLL)^(OLD 2012) L&S note that it is rare before the Augustan period and absent from Plautus, Terence and Cicero.^(Lewis & Short 1879) Livy reports a laurel that grew on the stern of a warship, Columella vine shoots growing from a good part of the vine, and Tacitus brushwood sprung from the ground.^(OLD 2012) Of parts of the body and parasites, Pliny the Elder has the antlers of deer growing from the skin and worms produced in a rotting viper, and Suetonius a golden hump growing behind the neck.^(OLD 2012)^(Georges 1913) Curtius and Pliny use it of islands newly risen from a river or the sea,^(OLD 2012) Manilius asks whether Rome grew from huts, and in Seneca's tragedy it is used of the newly dawned day.^(OLD 2012)^(Conte 2010) The grammarian Agroecius distinguishes it from [[nāscor]]: ''nāscitur'' is said of what drops from the womb, ''ēnāscitur'' of what rises out of earth or water.^(TLL) In Ecclesiastical Latin it means to spring up or be born.^(Stelten 1995)
