-urrio

Latin

Alternative forms

Etymology

Possibly an alternative form of the 'desiderative' suffix -turiō,[1] but this is disputed.[2][3] The spellings with two Rs seem to be older than those with a single R, based on manuscript evidence; none of the forms is attested in inscriptions.[4]

Pronunciation

Suffix

-urriō (present infinitive -urrīre, perfect active -urrīvī, supine -urrītum); fourth conjugation

    The forms ligūrio or ligurrio, scaturio or scaturrio, and the two glossarial words vagurrit (=per otium vagatur) and flagurrit (=φλέγει), are not to be regarded as desideratives. They seem to be derived from nouns of the form of tellus, tellūris; compare scaturigo with prurigo from prurio, which must be a derivative from a word like psora, prora, prura or porra (cf. porrigo), analogous to the Greek ψώρα.
