+

+ ==Etymology==

+ It is [[af|la|in-|aedificō|t1=in, on|t2=to build]].^(OLD 2012)^(Wiktionary)^(TLL) De Vaan lists [[m|la|aedificō]] among the derivatives of [[m|la|aedēs|t=temple, (in the plural) house]], which goes back to [[itc-pro|*aiþ-|t=fireplace]] and [[ine-pro|*h₂(e)idʰ-|t=burning]]; the noun first meant the fireplace, then the room with a hearth, and then a small temple.^(de Vaan 2008) Cognate with [[grc|αἴθω|tr=aíthō|t=to burn]] and [[sga|áed|t=fire]].^(de Vaan 2008)

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ Cicero's speech on the answers of the soothsayers uses it of a shrine built into a house, and also of holy shrines that had been undermined and walled up.^(OLD 2012)^(Conte 2010) The Lex Iulia municipalis forbids anyone to have anything built on public places.^(Lewis & Short 1879)

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ Its main sense is to build something in or on a place.^(OLD 2012)^(Georges 1913) Hirtius uses it of a breastwork, Livy of the temple of Jupiter that was to be built and of buildings private persons had put up on public land, and Columella of two walls built against a slope.^(OLD 2012)^(Conte 2010) Lucretius uses it of clouds piled upon clouds,^(OLD 2012)^(Georges 1913) and Seneca, figuratively, of burdens an uncle might pile on a young man.^(Georges 1913)

+

+ It also meant to build materials into a structure, as in Pliny the Elder's eagle-stone built into the nest of one kind of eagle,^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879) and in the jurists to build upon a site.^(OLD 2012)^(Conte 2010) Another sense was to block with walls or wall up: Caesar blocks streets and squares, and Livy has city gates not just closed but walled up.^(OLD 2012)^(Georges 1913)
