Alternative forms

Etymology

From an earlier form *ercō, ercīre +‎ -scō. *Ercō is probably from Proto-Indo-European *h₁erk- (“to divide”), cognate with Hittite [script needed] (ark-). The spelling with initial h is by influence of the unrelated hērēs (“heir”).

Pronunciation

Verb

ercīscō (present infinitive ercīscere); third conjugation, no passive, no perfect or supine stem

  1. (transitive) to divide (an inheritance)

Usage notes

Usually found in the gerundive ercīscendus or (more often) ercīscundus.
