orior
Latin
Etymology
From Proto-Italic *orjōr, from Proto-Indo-European *h₃er- (“to stir, rise”). Cognate with Ancient Greek ὄρνῡμι (órnūmi), Sanskrit ऋणोति (ṛṇóti).
Pronunciation
- (Classical Latin) IPA(key): [ˈɔ.ri.ɔr]
- (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): [ˈɔː.ri.or]
Verb
orior (present infinitive orī or orīrī, perfect active ortus sum); third (-iō variant) / fourth conjugation, deponent
- to rise, get up
- Synonyms: coorior, exorior, oborior, surgō, ēmergō, assurgō
- Antonyms: cadō, concēdō, decēdō, cēdō, intereō, discēdō, excēdō, occidō, pereō
- 8 CE, Ovid, Fasti 6.729–730:
- Iam tua, Lāomedōn, oritur nurus ortaque noctem pellit
- Now, Laomedon, your daughter-in-law is rising, and having risen, she dispels the night
(That is to say, the goddess of dawn, the Greek Eos or Roman Aurora; her fabled consorts included Tithonus, son of Laomedon of Troy. See also “ortus”, the perfect active participle of the deponent verb “orior”.)
