+

+ ==Forms==

+ '''prōporrō''' (adverb)^(OLD 2012)^(Georges 1913)

+

+ ==Etymology==

+ It is [[af|la|prō|porrō|t1=forth|t2=further on]], formed like [[m|la|proinde]].^(OLD 2012)^(TLL) The OLD calls [[m|la|porrō]] cognate with [[grc|πόρρω|tr=pórrhō|t=forwards, far off]];^(OLD 2012) Wiktionary notes that the old Greek form [[m|grc|πρόσω|tr=prósō]] does not fit a borrowing well and that the Latin word is probably related to [[ine-pro|*pro-]].^(Wiktionary)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ Köbler and Lewis and Short cite a line of Lucilius,^(Köbler 2010)^(Lewis & Short 1879) but the TLL treats the word there as an editor's conjecture.^(TLL) It is otherwise a word of Lucretius,^(Lewis & Short 1879)^(TLL) who uses it of people who ask in turn what the first beginnings of things are.^(OLD 2012)^(Conte 2010)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ It continues a movement begun before, much like [[porrō]]: in turn, further, again.^(TLL)^(OLD 2012)^(Georges 1913) Lucretius uses it of atoms set in motion that in turn strike larger bodies, and of the mind that strikes the soul, which in turn strikes the body so that the whole frame is pushed forward.^(TLL) In his account of the soul he calls a fourth element the soul of the soul, which Lewis and Short render as altogether or utterly.^(Lewis & Short 1879)^(TLL) In one Lucretian passage the TLL thinks the context corrupt.^(TLL)

+ ==Timeline==

+ * 96–55 BC – Lucretius uses it of things acting in turn.^(OLD 2012)^(Köbler 2010)
