+ ==Forms==

+ '''simul''' (not comparable)^(Wiktionary)

+ Plautus and inscriptions have the older form ''semul''.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879)

+

+ ==Etymology==

+ It is [[inh|itc-pro|*semali|t=alike, together]], [[inh|ine-pro|*smh₂-el-i-]], the old neuter of the word that became [[similis]] “like”.^(de Vaan 2008)^(OLD 2012)^(Wiktionary) The older form was ⟨semul⟩, and ⟨simul⟩ took its /i/ from ⟨similis⟩.^(de Vaan 2008) Cognate with [[grc|ὁμαλός|tr=homalós|t=even, level]], [[sga|samail|t=like]] and [[got|𐍃𐌹𐌼𐌻𐌴|tr=simle|t=once]].^(de Vaan 2008)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ The OLD's earliest citation is from Plautus, “together”.^(OLD 2012) Köbler dates Plautus c. 250–184 BC.^(Köbler 2010)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ It meant in company, together, as in Plautus and Cicero, jointly, as in Ennius, and at the same time, as well.^(OLD 2012) With ''ut'', as in Titinius, and as ''simul atque'' in Lucilius it became a conjunction, “as soon as”, and Ovid used it as a preposition with the ablative.^(OLD 2012)

+

+ British Medieval Latin used it for together.^(DMLBS) Its compound ''īnsimul'' survives in French ''ensemble'' and gave [[en|ensemble]] in 1703, and Medieval Latin ''simultāneus'' gave [[en|simultaneous]] in the 1650s.^(Etymonline)
