+ 
+ ==Pronunciation==
+ * IPA (Classical): [sʊbˈjɪ.ki.oː], [sʊˈbɪ.ki.oː]^(Wiktionary)
+ * IPA (Ecclesiastical): [subˈjiː.t͡ʃi.o], [suˈbiː.t͡ʃi.o]^(Wiktionary)
+ 
+ ==Forms==
+ '''subiciō''' (present infinitive subicere, perfect active subiēcī, supine subiectum); third (-iō variant) conjugation^(Wiktionary)
+ 
+ ==Etymology==
+ It is from [[sub-]] “under, up from below” and [[iaciō]] “to throw”.^(OLD 2012)^(Wiktionary)^(Etymonline) The first syllable of present forms is long in pre-Augustan and Augustan verse, as Gellius discusses, and the spelling ⟨subjiciō⟩ is less correct.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879)
+ 
+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==
+ The OLD's earliest citations are from Plautus, of fraudulent substitution, and Lucilius, of throwing up and placing below.^(OLD 2012) Köbler dates Plautus c. 250–184 BC.^(Köbler 2010)
+ 
+ ==Semantic evolution==
+ It meant to throw up from below, as in Lucilius, in Livy to hoist, and to place underneath, in Caesar at the foot of something.^(OLD 2012) In Cicero it meant to put under so as to subject to an action, to apply fire, and to lay before the eyes or mind.^(OLD 2012) From Caesar it meant to make subject to authority, and in Cicero to expose to a hazard, ''praecōnī subicere'' to put up for auction, and to place under a category.^(OLD 2012) In Horace it meant to place next, in the ''Rhetorica ad Herennium'' to append, and in Virgil to put in a remark.^(OLD 2012) In Cicero it meant to supply, suggest, and to substitute, in Caesar to suborn, in Quintilian to introduce fraudulently, and in Plautus to substitute fraudulently.^(OLD 2012)
+ 
+ In Ecclesiastical Latin, as ''subjiciō'', it meant to subject.^(Stelten 1995) Its participle ''subiectus'' lies behind Old French ''suget'' and [[en|subject]], recorded in the early 14th century of a person under another's dominion.^(Wiktionary)^(Etymonline)
