+

+ ==Forms==

+ '''fastīgō''' (present infinitive fastīgāre, perfect active fastīgāvī, supine fastīgātum); first conjugation^(Wiktionary)

+

+ ==Etymology==

+ It is from [[itc-pro|*farstīg-]], with a noun [[ine-pro|*bʰr̥s-tí-|t=top, point]].^(de Vaan 2008)^(Wiktionary) Cognate with [[goh|burst|t=bristle]], [[ang|byrst|t=bristle]] and [[sa|भृष्टि|tr=bhṛṣṭí|t=point]], and the root without suffix is in [[sga|barr|t=top]].^(de Vaan 2008)^(TLL) Ernout and Meillet took it as a back-formation from [[m|la|fastīgātus|t=pointed]], but since [[fastīgium]] “point, top” is older, Leumann derived the verb from the noun, as the OLD does.^(de Vaan 2008)^(OLD 2012)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ De Vaan dates it from Caesar, who describes a roof made to slope to a point.^(de Vaan 2008)^(OLD 2012) Köbler dates Caesar about 50 BC.^(Köbler 2010)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ It meant to make pointed, taper, as Caesar's sloping roof, and to make slope, as his hill sloping gently back to the plain.^(OLD 2012) The participle ''fastīgātus'' “sloping, pointed” is the Classical form, and Lewis and Short say the finite verb is post-Augustan.^(Gaffiot 2016)^(Lewis & Short 1879)

+

+ ==Timeline==

+ * c. 50 BC – Caesar uses it of a sloping roof and hill.^(OLD 2012)^(Köbler 2010)
