Etymology

From earlier nārō, for Proto-Italic *gnārāō (“to make known, tell”), denominal from gnārus; or less likely for Proto-Italic *gnārurāō. Ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *ǵneh₃- (“to know”). The /V:C/~/VCC/ vacillation is similar to, but probably a different phenomenon from, the so-called 'Littera Rule', as in Iūpiter > Iuppiter.

Pronunciation

  • (Classical) IPA(key): /ˈnar.roː/,
  • (Conservative) IPA(key): /ˈnaː.roː/,
  • (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): /ˈnar.ro/,
  • Note: this word exhibits a common vacillation between long vowel and geminate consonant (perhaps associated with stress), still observed in Sardinian and Sicilian.

Quotations

  • Velius Longus, De Orthographia 80.8:(latin.packhum.org)
    Sānē in eō quod est narrāre observātum est ut ūnum 'r' scrīberēmus, quoniam venit ā 'gnārō', cui est contrārium 'ignārus'.
    Granted, in the word 'narrare' the rule is to write a single 'r', seeing as it's derived from 'gnarus' whose antonym is 'ignarus'.
