1. addition (act of adding)

   The addition sign is plus (${\displaystyle +}$).

From ad- (“to, towards, at”) +‎ iaciō (“I throw, hurl”).

• (Classical) IPA^(key): /aˈdi.ki.oː/, [äˈd̪ɪkioː]

• (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA^(key): /adˈji.t͡ʃi.o/, [äd̪ˈjiːt͡ʃio]
• Note: both syllabifications occur when allowed by the meter; the shorter form probably original, the longer an analogical restoration, as with other compounds of iaciō.[1]
