patesco

patesco

Latin

Verb

patēscō ‎(present infinitive patēscere, perfect active patuī); third conjugation, no passive

  1. I am opening, being revealed, being disclosed.
  2. I become known
  3. I extend or stretch out.

Usage notes

Like most inchoative verbs, patēscō is intransitive and tends to imply a change of state or ongoing action. When the state of being open has been achieved, the verb patēo is used, though the distinction is less apparent in the figurative senses. The verbs patefaciō and aperiō are common corresponding transitive verbs which mean "to open [something]".
