Etymology

From Proto-Italic *emō, from Proto-Indo-European *h₁em- (“to take, distribute”), with excrescent p in ēmptum.

Cognate with Lithuanian im̃ti, Old Church Slavonic имѫ (imǫ) and possibly Old Armenian իմանամ (imanam). Possibly related to Proto-Indo-European *nem- (“to take or give one's due”), with its descendants English nim, Danish nemme, Dutch nemen, German nehmen, West Frisian nimme, Ancient Greek νέμω (némō).

Pronunciation

(Classical) IPA^(key): /ˈe.moː/,

• (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA^(key): /ˈe.mo/,

Verb

emō (present infinitive emere, perfect active ēmī, supine ēmptum); third conjugation

   Synonyms: comparō, sūmō, coëmō

   Antonyms: vēndō, addīcō, dēferō

   • 405 CE, Jerome, Vulgate Ioannes.4.8:

     so his disciples had gone away unto the city to buy food

2. (figuratively) to acquire, procure

   Synonyms: acquīrō, adipīscor, cōnsequor, lucror, parō, pariō, impetrō, mereō, sūmō, potior, ūsūrpō, comparō, apīscor, obtineō, conciliō, nancīscor, colligō, alliciō

Conjugation

¹At least one use of the archaic "sigmatic future" and "sigmatic aorist" tenses is attested, which are used by Old Latin writers; most notably Plautus and Terence. The sigmatic future is generally ascribed a future or future perfect meaning, while the sigmatic aorist expresses a possible desire ("might want to").
