andāre

Meaning

1. EarlyMedieval Latinto go

Origins

Possibly from *ambitāre (literally “go around”), frequentative of ambiō. Alternatively, perhaps from an earlier *amnāre < *amlāre < ambulāre (“walk”), or from Celtic root mn- (“to go”) + Latin termination -are. Attested from 801 CE in southern Italy. Presumably suppletive with vādō and īre in various conjugations, as are most of the descendants, and as was the contemporary synonym alāre.
