occupo

See also: occupò

Italian

Verb

occupo

  1. first-person singular present indicative of occupare

Latin

Etymology

From ob- and the root of capiō (“capture, seize”). The difference in conjugation is explained by De Vaan, citing Steinbauer 1989, as the result of derivation via the denominal suffix -ō, -āre from some intermediate nominal (such as an unattested noun or adjective *occeps, *occupis), instead of direct composition of the prefix with the base verb.[1] Compare anticipō, nū̆ncupō, participō.

1At least one use of the archaic "sigmatic future" and "sigmatic aorist" tenses is attested, which are used by Old Latin writers; most notably Plautus and Terence. The sigmatic future is generally ascribed a future or future perfect meaning, while the sigmatic aorist expresses a possible desire ("might want to").
2At least one rare poetic syncopated perfect form is attested.
