+ '''adiciō''' (present infinitive adicere, perfect active adiēcī, supine adiectum); third (-iō variant) conjugation^(Wiktionary)
+ It is also spelled ''adiiciō'', and Manilius and Martial have a short first syllable.^(OLD 2012)
+ 
+ ==Etymology==
+ It is from [[ad-]] “to, towards” and [[iaciō]] “to throw”, with the vowel of the stem weakened to ⟨i⟩ in the compound.^(OLD 2012)^(Wiktionary)
+ 
+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==
+ The OLD's earliest citations are from Plautus, of casting glances and of giving something extra.^(OLD 2012) Köbler dates Plautus c. 250–184 BC.^(Köbler 2010)
+ 
+ ==Semantic evolution==
+ It meant to throw towards, to aim, as voices in Cicero, and with ''oculōs'' to cast one's eyes on something, covetously, as in Plautus; in Terence ''animum adicere'' meant to set one's heart on.^(OLD 2012) It meant to attach, to insert, and to mix in further ingredients.^(OLD 2012) In Caesar it meant to add structures, in Varro letters, in Vitruvius amounts, and in Plautus to give something more.^(OLD 2012) In Livy it meant to add a further task or a colleague, and in Caesar reinforcements; in Livy also to add in speech.^(OLD 2012)
