reor

Latin

Etymology

    From Proto-Italic *rēōr, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂reh₁- (“to think”),[1] reanalysed root of *h₂er- (“to put together”), in which case it would be cognate with Ancient Greek ἀριθμός (arithmós, “a number”), Classical Latin ars (“art”), Old Irish rád (“saying”), Albanian radhë (“queue, row”), Old Church Slavonic радити (raditi, “to care for”), Sanskrit राध्नोति (rādhnoti, “to succeed”) and Ossetian рад (rad, “turn, order”).

    Pronunciation

    Verb

    reor (present infinitive rērī, perfect active ratus sum); second conjugation, deponent

    1. to reckon, calculate
    2. to think, consider, deem, judge, believe, suppose, suspect, imagine
      • 29 BCE – 19 BCE, Virgil, Aeneid 4.45-46:
        “Dīs equidem auspicibus reor et Iūnōne secundā
        hunc cursum Īliacās ventō tenuisse carīnās.”
        “As for me, I believe [it was] with the gods’ approval and with Juno’s blessing that the Trojan fleet held this course by [a most favorable] wind.”
        (Anna’s mistaken belief reads as tragic irony given Juno’s hostility to Aeneas’s quest.)
      • c. 117 CE, Tacitus, Annales 4.18:
        Destrui per haec fortunam suam Caesar imparemque tanto merito rebatur
        The Caesar [i.e., Tiberius] judged his position to be undermined by these [statements], but also insufficient to [compensate] such high merits
