Etymology 1

From Proto-Italic *eō, from Proto-Indo-European *h₁ey-. Cognate with Ancient Greek εἶμι (eîmi, “I go”), Sanskrit एति (éti, “goes”), Hittite 𒄿𒄿𒀀𒀜𒋫 (i-ya-at-ta /iyatta/, “goes”), Luwian 𒄿𒄿 (iti, “goes”), Old Persian 𐎠𐎡𐎫𐎡𐎹 (aitiy, “goes”), Old Church Slavonic ити (iti), Gothic 𐌹𐌳𐌳𐌾𐌰 (iddja, “(he) went”), Old English ēode (“(he) went”).

Verb

eō (present infinitive īre, perfect active iī, supine itum); irregular conjugation

  1. (intransitive) I go.
    Romani ite domum!
    Romans, go home!
    Romani ierunt domum.
    The Romans have gone home.
  2. I proceed, advance.
  3. I result, happen as a consequence.
  4. I prepare (for some action); I set about.
  5. (law) I accede, go over to the opposing opinion or other side in voting.
  6. (business) I go for; I am sold at (a certain price).
Usage notes

The basic meaning "go" applies to any kind of animate or inanimate motion: walk, ride, sail, fly, etc.

Inflection

Irregular, but similar to fourth conjugation. The third principal part is most often contracted to iī, but occasionally appears as īvī. Likewise, the perfect active infinitive and pluperfect subjunctive stem are most often contracted to isse, but rarely can be found in the full form iisse.
