From earlier nārō, for Proto-Italic *gnārāō (“to make known, tell”), denominal from gnārus; or less likely for Proto-Italic *gnārurāō. Ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *ǵneh₃- (“to know”). The /V:C/~/VCC/ vacillation is similar to, but probably a different phenomenon from, the so-called 'Littera Rule', as in Iūpiter > Iuppiter.^[1][2]

• (Classical Latin) IPA^(key): [ˈnar.roː]
• (Conservative) IPA^(key): [ˈnaː.roː]
• (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA^(key): [ˈnar.ro]
• Note: this word exhibits a common vacillation between long vowel and geminate consonant (perhaps associated with stress), still observed in Sardinian and Sicilian.

narrō (present infinitive narrāre, perfect active narrāvī, supine narrātum); first conjugation

1. to tell, say, relate
   1. (with tibi, colloquial) Used to emphasise that one is speaking in earnest, or to add expressiveness.
      • 68 BCE – 44 BCE, Cicero, Epistulae ad Atticum XV.21.1:

        Narrō tibī̆, Quīntus pater exsultat laetitiā!

        I'm telling you, Quintus the father is beside himself with joy!

2. to describe, report, recount
3. (with dē) to talk about
   1. (with interrogatives, etc) to be talking about, to mean
   2. (with bene, discourse) to be telling good news

      bene narrās! ― that's nice, that's good to hear!

   3. (passive voice) to be the subject of talk
4. (rhetoric) to state the facts of a case

¹At least one rare poetic syncopated perfect form is attested.

• Velius Longus, De Orthographia 80.8:(latin.packhum.org)

  Sānē in eō quod est narrāre observātum est ut ūnum 'r' scrīberēmus, quoniam venit ā 'gnārō', cui est contrārium 'ignārus'.

  Granted, in the word 'narrare' the rule is to write a single 'r', seeing as it's derived from 'gnarus' whose antonym is 'ignarus'.
