+ '''satus''' (feminine sata, neuter satum); first/second-declension adjective^(OLD 2012)^(Bianchi & Lelli 2014)

+

+ ==Etymology==

+ The adjective “sprung from” is [[der|la|serō#1|t=to sow, plant]], its past participle.^(OLD 2012)^(Gaffiot 2016)^(Bianchi & Lelli 2014) De Vaan traces the participle to [[itc-pro|*sato-|t=sown]] and [[ine-pro|*sh₁-to-]], from the root of [[m|ine-pro|*seh₁-|t=to sow]].^(de Vaan 2008) Cognate with [[lt|sė́ti|t=to sow]].^(de Vaan 2008)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ Köbler dates the adjective from Virgil,^(Köbler 2010) whose ''Aeneid'' calls Aeneas ''satus Anchisā'', son of Anchises.^(Conte 2010)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ As a participle it means sown or planted,^(Bianchi & Lelli 2014)^(Conte 2010) but as an adjective it is used of descent: sprung from a parent or family, with the ablative alone or with ''ab'' or ''dē''.^(OLD 2012)^(Conte 2010) Ovid has ''dē Numitōre satī'', sons of Numitor, and Statius uses it of a native of Pisa, since it can also mean native of a place.^(OLD 2012)^(Conte 2010)
