+ '''condō''' (present infinitive condere, perfect active condidī, supine conditum); third conjugation^(Wiktionary)
+ 
+ ==Etymology==
+ It is [[af|la|com-|-do|t2=to put]], like [[abdo|alt=abdō]].^(OLD 2012)^(Wiktionary)^(TLL) The element -dō is [[itc-pro|*-þō]], from [[ine-pro|*dʰeh₁-|t=to put, place]].^(de Vaan 2008)^(TLL)

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==
+ It is found from Plautus onwards,^(Köbler 2010) as in “I'll put the bag in the chest” and “is the gold as I stored it?”.^(OLD 2012)
+ 
+ ==Semantic evolution==
+ It meant to put into something, to store up for later use, as Cato's snake skin to be picked up and stored, to put back in its place, to bury the dead, as Ennius' cruel tomb, and to hide or conceal.^(OLD 2012) It meant to put out of sight, to contain within, and with ''diem'' to see a day out.^(OLD 2012)
+ 
+ From putting together it meant to found a city or state, so that ''ab urbe condita'' meant “from the founding of the city” in 753 BC, to institute a custom or law, to construct, and to compose a poem or history, as Cicero's Greek poem.^(OLD 2012)^(Gaffiot 2016) ''Lustrum condere'' was to perform the purification that closed the census.^(OLD 2012) English ''abscond'' comes from its compound ''abscondere''.^(Etymonline)
