+ ==Etymology==

+ It is probably [[inh|itc-pro|*apjō]].^(Wiktionary) Two roots have been proposed: [[ine-pro|*h₁ep-|t=to grab, get]], the root of [[apīscor]], for which the LIV suggests ⟨*h₁p-yé-ti⟩ and de Vaan an athematic i-present ⟨*h₁p-i-⟩; or [[ine-pro|*h₂ep-|t=to attach]], with [[hit|ḫapp-|t=to join]] and [[grc|ἅπτω|tr=háptō|t=to fasten]].^(Wiktionary) De Vaan sees no need to separate ⟨apiō⟩ from ⟨apīscor⟩, which keeps the general sense, while ⟨apiō⟩ was specialised for tying.^(de Vaan 2008) The OLD compares [[sa|आप्त|tr=āptá|t=suitable]] and [[apud]].^(OLD 2012)

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ Gaffiot's sources are Festus, Servius on Virgil and Isidore.^(Gaffiot 2016) The only form in common use is the participle [[aptus]].^(Wiktionary)
