+

+ ==Etymology==

+ It is from [[prō-]] “forth” and [[pōnō]] “to put, place”.^(OLD 2012)^(Wiktionary)^(TLL)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ The OLD's earliest citations are from Varro, of posting up a notice and of placing before.^(OLD 2012) Köbler dates Varro 116–27 BC.^(Köbler 2010)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ It meant to put forth, display, as Caesar's ''vēxillum prōpōnere'' “to hoist the flag”, to put up for sale, and to post up a notice or a law, so to publish an edict.^(OLD 2012)^(Gaffiot 2016) It meant to place before, hold up to the mind, picture to oneself, as Cicero's ''ante oculōs prōpōnere'', to hold up as a model, to offer, propose, and to hold out a reward or a threat.^(OLD 2012) It meant to set out, state, in logic to state a major premiss, in rhetoric to state the facts of a case, and to set before oneself as a plan, so that ''mihi prōpositum est'' meant “my intention is”.^(OLD 2012)

+ In Ecclesiastical Latin it meant to set before, propose, determine, display, resolve.^(Stelten 1995) Old French ''proposer'' gave [[en|propose]] in the mid-14th century, and Middle English ''proponen'' gave [[en|propone]] and [[en|propound]]; [[en|purpose]] comes from the related Old French ''porposer''.^(Etymonline)
