torreo

Latin

Etymology

From Proto-Italic *torzeō, from Proto-Indo-European *torséyeti, causative from the root *ters- (“dry”). The fourth principal part tostum is for *torstum.

Pronunciation

Verb

torreō (present infinitive torrēre, perfect active torruī, supine tō̆stum); second conjugation

  1. to scorch, burn, parch
  2. to roast, bake
  3. (of the cold) to nip, pinch

Usage notes
  • While *torstum is almost certainly *tŏrstum with a short vowel, the vowel of tostum is less understood; whether it is tŏstum or tōstum is properly unknown.
