Etymology

[edit]

From Proto-Italic *rēōr, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂reh₁- (to think),[1] reanalysed root of *h₂er- (to put together), in which case it would be cognate with Ancient Greek ἀριθμός (arithmós, a number), Old Irish rad (to say), Albanian radhë (queue, row), Old Church Slavonic радити (raditi, to care for), Sanskrit राध्नोति (rādhnoti, to succeed) and Ossetian рад (rad, peace).

Pronunciation

Verb

[edit]

reor (present infinitive rērī, perfect active ratus sum); second conjugation, deponent

  1. to reckon, calculate
  2. to think, consider, deem, judge, believe, suppose, suspect, imagine
    • 29 BCE – 19 BCE, Virgil, Aeneid 4.45-46:
      “Dīs equidem auspicibus reor et Iūnōne secundā
      hunc cursum Īliacās ventō tenuisse carīnās.”
      “As for me, I believe [it was] with the gods’ approval and with Juno’s blessing that the Trojan fleet held this course by [a most favorable] wind.”
      (Anna’s mistaken belief reads as tragic irony given Juno’s hostility to Aeneas’s quest.)
