surio

Latin

Etymology

Probably related to sūcus, apart from which assumption there is no testimony of the root vowel's length. A connection to sūs is less likely.

Pronunciation

Verb

sū̆riō (present infinitive sū̆rīre); fourth conjugation, no passive, no perfect or supine stems

  1. (of male animals) to be on heat
  2. (of fruits) to be succulent
