+

+ ==Forms==

+ '''rimanere''' (first-person singular present rimàngo, first-person singular past historic rimàsi, past participle rimàsto, first-person singular future rimarrò, auxiliary èssere)^(Wiktionary)

+ The old past participle is ''rimaso'', from Latin ''remansum'', and ''rimasto'' was formed on the participles in ''-to''.^(Nocentini 2010)^(Zingarelli 2010)

+ Old Italian also has the present ''rimagno'', and Guido Cavalcanti writes ''rimagnàn'' “we remain”.^(Zingarelli 2010)^(DELI 1999)

+

+ ==Etymology==

+ It is [[inh|la|remaneō|t=to stay behind, remain]], from [[m|la|re-|t=back]] and [[m|la|maneō|t=to stay]].^(Nocentini 2010)^(GRADIT 2003)^(Wiktionary)^(REW 1935) DELI calls it a learned word, but the verb continues in most Romance languages: [[fro|remaindre]], [[pro|remanre]], [[osp|remanir]] and [[ro|rămâne]], and [[es|remanecer]] and [[pt|remanecer]] are derived from it.^(DELI 1999)^(Nocentini 2010)^(REW 1935)^(Körting 1907)^(DEI|3254) In Latin the prefix pointed to staying behind while others leave.^(DELI 1999)

+

+ Latin ⟨maneō⟩ continues Proto-Italic ⟨*m(o)n-ē-⟩ and [[ine-pro|*mn-eh₁-|t=to remain]], a stative verb.^(de Vaan 2008) Its closest relatives are [[grc|μένω|tr=ménō|t=to stay]] and [[xcl|մնամ|tr=mnam|t=to stay, wait]].^(de Vaan 2008)^(Nocentini 2010)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ DELI's first records are in the ''Novellino'', at the end of the 13th century, and in Guido Cavalcanti, before 1300, in the sense “to stay, remain”.^(DELI 1999)^(GRADIT 2003)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ DELI dates the sense “to stay in a place” to Iacopone (before 1306), “to last, persist” to Giordano da Pisa (before 1311), and “to be situated” and “to survive” to Dante.^(DELI 1999) “To be left over” and “to agree” appear in the 14th century.^(DELI 1999)

+

+ In the 19th century the verb used absolutely came to mean “to be dumbfounded”, recorded in 1863, and colloquial ''rimanerci'' means to be taken aback and also to die.^(DELI 1999)^(Zingarelli 2010) From the old participle ''rimaso'' came ''rimasuglio'' “leftover”, with the collective suffix ''-uglio''.^(DELI 1999)^(Nocentini 2010)

+

+ ==Timeline==

+ * Late 13th century – The ''Novellino'' uses ''rimanere''.^(DELI 1999)

+ * 1278–1279 – ''Rimanente'' “remainder” appears in a testament.^(DELI 1999)

+ * Before 1306 – Iacopone uses the verb for staying in a place.^(DELI 1999)

+ * 14th century – ''Rimanenza'' and ''rimasuglio'' are first recorded.^(DELI 1999)^(Nocentini 2010)

+ * 1863 – Fanfani records the absolute sense “to be dumbfounded”.^(DELI 1999)
