Choosing the right word Döderlein's Latin Synonyms
Inire · Intrare · Introire · Ingredi
1. Inire denotes almost always only a figurative entering, as to engage in any thing, for example, inire pugnam, numerum, etc.; whereas intrare, introire, ingredi, a literal entering; intrare is usually transitive, as to enter, and has an emphasis on the verbal part of the word; whereas introire is intransitive, as to step in, and has an emphasis on the adverbial part of the word. In the phrase intrare curiam one thinks more of the mere threshold, which is to be stepped over; in the phrase introire one thinks more of the four walls by which one is to be enclosed. 2. Intrare and introire suppose a space distinctly limited by walls, boundaries, marks; whereas ingredi supposes, generally, any limited space, for example, viam, pontem, etc. (iv. 521.)
