+ '''hauriō''' (present infinitive haurīre, perfect active hausī, supine haustum); fourth conjugation^(Wiktionary)
+
+ ==Etymology==
+ It is [[inh|itc-pro|*aus-je-]], from [[ine-pro|*h₂ews-ye/o-|t=to scoop]].^(de Vaan 2008)^(Wiktionary) De Vaan notes that the initial ''h'' may be secondary.^(de Vaan 2008) Cognate with [[non|ausa|t=to scoop, bail]] and [[grc|αὔω|tr=aúō|t=to fetch fire]], where “to scoop” became limited to fire.^(de Vaan 2008)^(OLD 2012)
+
+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==
+ De Vaan dates it from Cato.^(de Vaan 2008) Cassius Hemina tells of milk drawn from the Tiber.^(OLD 2012) Köbler dates Cato 234–149 BC.^(Köbler 2010)
+
+ ==Semantic evolution==
+ It meant to draw water or another liquid, to scoop up, then to shed blood, to pierce so as to drain the blood, as a sword drains a breast, and to dig or scoop up solids, such as gold from the treasures of Syria in Cicero.^(OLD 2012) It also meant to drink, to drain a cup, and to drink in with the mind or senses, to take one's fill of something.^(OLD 2012) Figuratively it was to draw something from a source, as Cicero draws from the springs of philosophy, and to carry off or kill.^(Gaffiot 2016)
+
+ Its compound [[exhauriō]] gave [[en|exhaust]] in the 1530s.^(Etymonline)
