Latin

Etymology

From earlier sepeliō, with gemination of /l/. Found in imperial inscriptions.

Verb

sepelliō (present infinitive sepellīre, perfect active sepellīvī, supine sepultum or sepellītum); fourth conjugation

  1. (nonstandard) to bury

Reconstruction notes

Early on there appears to have arisen a variant *sepulliō by analogy with the participle sepultus. Some of the Romance forms may have adapted to reflexes of the prefix sub-. There seems to have been an early gemination of the /p/ in Italy, though this was not universal.
