Origins

The conjugation suggests this is a denominal verb in -ō, -āre built on some unattested noun or adjective derived from ante- (“before, in front of”) + the verb capiō (“take”), e.g. *anticeps; compare mancipō (“to transfer or sell”) from manceps (“purchaser, renter; owner”) and participō (“to partake of, share, participate”) from particeps (“sharing, partaking”). Alternatively, it may have been formed directly on the analogy of the preceding verbs without *anticeps ever existing as a precursor. Compare typologically Russian предвосхити́ть (predvosxitítʹ) (<+ -хи́тить (-xítitʹ), akin to хвата́ть (xvatátʹ)).
