suadeo

Latin

Etymology

From Proto-Italic *swādēō, from Proto-Indo-European *swoh₂déyeti, from *sweh₂d- (“sweet”). Cognate with suāvis (“sweet”). Thus meaning "to make sweet (pleasing)".

Pronunciation

(Classical) IPA^(key): /ˈsu̯aː.de.oː/, [ˈs̠u̯äːd̪eoː]
(Classical) IPA^(key): /suˈaː.de.oː/, [s̠uˈäːd̪eoː]

(Ecclesiastical) IPA^(key): /suˈa.de.o/, [suˈäːd̪eo]
Note: while the word generally scans with a glide in classical poetry, the rare pronunciation of the u as a vowel (in hiatus) is attested as early as Lucretius (see quotations). Compare the similar phenomenon in suāvis, which Romance languages reflect with a hiatus.
