Latin
Etymology 1
Likely originally denominatives in -ō formed from the past participle.
Suffix
-tō (present infinitive -tāre, perfect active -tāvī, supine -tātum); first conjugation
- Forms frequentative verbs from existing verbs. In Latin, this means repeated or intense action.[1] For examples, see here.
Usage notes
The suffix uses the past participle/supine stem as the base, see the usage notes at -tus for more. It is not used for first conjugation verbs, the variant -itō appears there instead.
