+ '''audītiō''' ''f'' (genitive audītiōnis); third declension^(Wiktionary)
+
+ ==Etymology==
+ It is [[af|la|audiō|-tiō|t1=to hear]].^(OLD 2012)^(Wiktionary) De Vaan traces ⟨audiō⟩ to [[itc-pro|*awizdje/o-|t=to hear]], from [[ine-pro|*h₂ew-is|t=clearly]] and [[ine-pro|*dʰh₁-ye/o-|t=to render]].^(de Vaan 2008)
+
+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==
+ The OLD's earliest citations include Plautus, and Köbler's earliest source is Cicero.^(OLD 2012)^(Köbler 2010) Köbler dates Plautus c. 250–184 BC and Cicero 81–43 BC.^(Köbler 2010)
+
+ ==Semantic evolution==
+ It meant the act of hearing or listening, as in Cicero's ''puerī fābellārum audītiōne dūcuntur'' “children are attracted by listening to stories”; hearsay, report, as in Cicero and Caesar; and in Pliny a lecture, discourse, recital.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879)^(Gaffiot 2016)
+
+ In Ecclesiastical Latin it meant hearing, report, audition.^(Stelten 1995) In British Medieval Latin it was also study at a university and the audit of an account.^(DMLBS) English ''audition'' (1590s “power of hearing”, 1650s “act of hearing”) is from it, partly through French ''audicion''.^(Etymonline)
