Latin

Etymology

From an older *an(h)ēlitāre, from anhēlitus (“breath”) +‎ -āre (verb-forming suffix). Alternatively, from alēnō +‎ -itāre, the former a late metathetic variant of Classical anhēlō (“breathe”).

The metathesis that moved /l/ leftwards may in part be due to the synonym halāre.

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): /aleneˈdaːre/, /alenˈtaːre/

Verb

*alēnitāre (Proto-Western-Romance)

  1. to breathe

Reconstruction notes

The remarkable variation in Gascon appears to reflect variation in the intervocalic loss of /n/ vis-à-vis syncope of the second /e/, some contamination from Catalan and Spanish, and contact with the French haleter.
