Etymology

From per- (“through”) +‎ eō (“go”).

Pronunciation
  • (Classical) IPA(key): /ˈpe.re.oː/, [ˈpɛ.re.oː]

Verb

pereō (present infinitive perīre, perfect active periī, supine peritum); irregular conjugation

  1. I vanish, disappear, come to nothing.
  2. I leak; I am absorbed.
  3. I perish, pass away, die.

Inflection
