pigeo

Latin

Etymology

From Proto-Indo-European *peyǵ-, though De Vaan is skeptical.[1]

Pronunciation

Verb

pigeō (present infinitive pigēre, perfect active piguī, supine pigitum); second conjugation

  1. to feel annoyance or reluctance at; to repent of
  2. (third person, in the singular, impersonal) (+ accusative of the person, + genitive of the cause of distress) to irk, pain, disgust, afflict, grieve

Usage notes

  • Personal conjugation is very rare, and non-classical. In Classical usage, only the impersonal verb piget exists.
