eniteo

Latin

Etymology

From ex- (“out of”) +‎ niteō (“shine”).

Pronunciation

Verb

ēniteō (present infinitive ēnitēre); second conjugation, no perfect or supine stems

  1. to shine forth or out, gleam; brighten
    Synonyms: candeō, splendeō, niteō, fulgeō, resplendeō, micō
  2. (figuratively) to be distinguished or eminent
    Synonyms: ēmineō, excellō, exstō, antecēdō, praeēmineō, splendeō
    • c. 140 BCE, Accius, Atreus 20:
      Probae etsi in segetem sunt deteriorem datae / Fruges, tamen ipsae suapte natura enitent.
      Though seed be sown on unpropitious soil, / It springs and ripens by its innate virtue.
    • 29 BCE – 19 BCE, Virgil, Aeneid 4.149–150:
      [...] haud illō sēgnior ībat / Aenēās; tantum ēgregiō decus ēnitet ōre.
      [...] that by no means was Aeneas preparing to go with any less grace [than Apollo]; as great a glory shone forth from [the man’s] most noble face.
      (Aeneas is beyond distinguished; in this simile he appears to “radiate” god-like traits, at least as perceived by Dido.)
