-ito

1. See -it-

-ito

1. used with a stem to form the past participle of regular -ire verbs

• tio-, toi

From -tō, although the appearance of -i- when affixed to first conjugation verbs has not been explained.

• (Classical Latin) IPA^(key): [ɪ.toː]
• (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA^(key): [i.t̪o] (stressed on antepenult)

-itō (present infinitive -itāre, perfect active -itāvī, supine -itātum); first conjugation

1. Forms frequentative verbs from existing verbs or from certain adjectives (notably adjectives of the third declension in -is, -alis, and -bilis/-ibilis)

Unlike -tō, this suffix is attached to the present stem of the verb. The vowel of the suffix replaces any final vowel of the stem, thus cantā- > cant-itā-. It is often found suffixed to first conjugation verbs, including existing frequentatives in -tō, but some examples from other conjugations also exist, such as agō > agitō.

¹The present passive infinitive in -ier is a rare poetic form which is attested.
