Latin

Etymology

From Proto-Italic *herjō, from earlier *xerjō (to differentiate it from a later form *herjō if the shift */x/ > */h/ in the Italic languages already happened during late Proto-Italic), from Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰer-. Cognate with Ancient Greek χαίρω (khaírō). The active was lost.

Verb

horior (present infinitive horī); third conjugation iō-variant, deponent, no perfect or supine stem

  1. (archaic, hapax) to encourage, urge

Conjugation

The only attested form of this verb is horitur, appearing once in Ennius:

  • 239 BCE – 169 BCE, Ennius, Annales 432:
    prandere iubet horiturque
    he orders and encourages them to break their fast

Assuming that this fragmentary verse appears at the end of a line of dactylic hexameter, the vowel in horitur would be short, making horior a third-conjugation verb. This conjugation is listed in TLL, De Vaan and Lewis and Short.

On the other hand, Gaffiot gives it as a fourth-conjugation verb, perhaps on the basis of the archaic frequentative horitō (< *horitus), also attested in Ennius.
