+ '''algeō''' (present infinitive algēre, perfect active alsī); second conjugation, no passive, no supine stem^(Wiktionary)

+

+ ==Etymology==

+ The etymology is uncertain.^(de Vaan 2008) De Vaan sets up [[itc-pro|*alg-]] and a PIE root [[ine-pro|*h₂(e)lgʰ-|t=(to be) cold]], and tentatively compares Modern [[is|elgur|t=frozen snow]].^(de Vaan 2008)^(Wiktionary) If [[algor]] “cold” is old and reflects an s-stem, a PIE s-noun could be reconstructed, but this is doubtful.^(de Vaan 2008) Festus derived it from Greek [[grc|ἀλγέω|tr=algéō|t=to feel pain]].^(Lewis & Short 1879)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ De Vaan dates it from Plautus, whose character complains that since leaving with his clothes on he is cold.^(de Vaan 2008)^(OLD 2012) Köbler dates Plautus c. 250–184 BC.^(Köbler 2010)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ It meant to feel cold or become cold, as Cato's advice that the household should not be cold or hungry, and to endure cold, as Cicero's youth trained by hunger, thirst, cold and heat.^(OLD 2012)^(Gaffiot 2016) Döderlein says ''algēre'' is to feel cold, opposed to ''aestuāre'' “to be hot”, while [[frīgeō]] is to be cold as a state, opposed to [[caleō]].^(Döderlein 1874)^(Lewis & Short 1879) Italian ''algere'' is a learned borrowing.^(Wiktionary)
