+ ==Forms==

+ '''comperendinō''' (present infinitive comperendināre, perfect active comperendināvī, supine comperendinātum); first conjugation^(Wiktionary)

+ It is also spelled ''conperendinō''.^(OLD 2012)

+

+ ==Etymology==

+ It is [[der|la|comperendinus]], said of the day on which an adjourned trial was resumed,^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879) which is a compound of [[m|la|con-]] and [[m|la|perendinus|t=of the day after tomorrow]].^(OLD 2012) De Vaan derives ⟨perendinus⟩ from [[m|la|perendiē|t=on the day after tomorrow]], which he explains from ⟨*perno-diē(d)⟩ with [[itc-pro|*perno-|t=foremost]].^(de Vaan 2008)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ It is first found in Cicero's speeches against Verres,^(Georges 1913)^(Conte 2010) as a legal term for adjourning a trial, or the trial of a defendant, to the third following day or later.^(Lewis & Short 1879)^(OLD 2012)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ Lewis and Short describe it as a legal term used properly of the judge, who summoned the defendant to a new hearing;^(Lewis & Short 1879)^(Georges 1913) Cicero also uses it of the party that asks for the adjournment, as ''ut ante primos ludos comperendinem'', “so that I may obtain an adjournment before the first games”.^(Lewis & Short 1879)^(Georges 1913) An inscription uses it of putting something by for another time.^(Georges 1913) Minucius Felix and the ''Itinerarium Alexandri'' have it in the general sense “to postpone”.^(Conte 2010)

+

+ Medieval writers used it for putting off or delaying anything: Aldhelm, the Life of Louis the Pious, and a Life of Godehard, where the brothers put off a synod to the following year.^(MLW) Stelten's Ecclesiastical Latin gloss keeps the legal sense.^(Stelten 1995)
