+ ==Etymology==

+ It is [[af|la|commoneō|faciō|t1=to remind|t2=to make, do]], formed like [[condocefaciō]].^(OLD 2012)^(TLL)^(Wiktionary) The first part is a compound of [[m|la|con-]] and [[m|la|moneō|t=to remind, warn]],^(OLD 2012)^(Bianchi & Lelli 2014) which de Vaan derives from [[itc-pro|*moneje-]] and [[ine-pro|*mon-eie-|t=to make think of, remind]].^(de Vaan 2008)

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ It means to remind someone forcibly, to admonish, and to impress something on a person;^(Lewis & Short 1879)^(OLD 2012) L&S find it in good prose, most often in Cicero.^(Lewis & Short 1879)^(OLD 2012) It takes the accusative of the person, the genitive of the thing (''veteris amicitiae'', “of their old friendship”, in the ''Rhetorica ad Herennium'', ''benefici sui'' in Sallust), a clause with ''ut'', or an accusative and infinitive.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879)^(Conte 2010) Cicero uses it of a speech that recalled a man's crimes to everyone in Sicily, Seneca of a single point he wishes to impress, and Vitruvius of the hut of Romulus on the Capitol, which can remind people of the customs of old.^(OLD 2012) The passive is ''commonefīō''.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879) Ecclesiastical Latin keeps the sense of strongly reminding and admonishing.^(Stelten 1995)
