reor

Latin

Etymology

From Proto-Italic *rēōr, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂reh₁- (“to think”),[1] reanalysed root of *h₂er- (“to put together”), in which case it would be cognate with Ancient Greek ἀριθμός (arithmós, “a number”), Old Irish rad (“to say”), Albanian radhë (“queue, row”), Old Church Slavonic радити (raditi, “to care for”), Sanskrit राध्नोति (rādhnoti, “to succeed”) and Ossetian рад (rad, “peace”).

Pronunciation

Verb

reor (present infinitive rērī, perfect active ratus sum); second conjugation, deponent

  1. to reckon, calculate
  2. to think, consider, deem, judge, believe, suppose, suspect, imagine
    • 29 BCE – 19 BCE, Virgil, Aeneid 4.45-46:
      “Dīs equidem auspicibus reor et Iūnōne secundā
      hunc cursum Īliacās ventō tenuisse carīnās.”
      “As for me, I believe [it was] with the gods’ approval and with Juno’s blessing that the Trojan fleet held this course by [a most favorable] wind.”
      (Anna’s mistaken belief reads as tragic irony given Juno’s hostility to Aeneas’s quest.)
