rapio

From Proto-Italic *rapjō.^[1]

• (Classical Latin) IPA^(key): [ˈra.pi.oː]
• (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA^(key): [ˈraː.pi.o]

rapiō (present infinitive rapere, perfect active rapuī, supine raptum); third conjugation iō-variant

1. to snatch, grab, carry off, abduct, rape, steal

   Synonyms: abdūcō, tollō, adimō, fraudō, corripiō, auferō, ēripiō, dēmō, āvertō, āmoveō, diripio, praedor, agō

   Ībis tandem aliquandō quō tē iam prīdem ista tua cupiditās effrēnāta ac furiōsa rapiēbat.

   You will go, finally at last, to where for a long time that unrestrained and mad desire of yours was first seizing you.

¹At least one use of the Old Latin "sigmatic future" and "sigmatic aorist" tenses is attested, which are used by Old Latin writers; most notably Plautus and Terence. The sigmatic future is generally ascribed a future or future perfect meaning, while the sigmatic aorist expresses a possible desire ("might want to").
