seresco

Latin

Etymology

From Proto-Indo-European *kseros. Cognates include Ancient Greek ξηρός (xērós), Old High German serawēn, Old Armenian չոր (čʿor), Middle Armenian չիր (čʿir) and perhaps Sanskrit क्षार (kṣārá, “sharp, acrid, pungent”). Possibly the inchoative of an unattested verb *serō, which also produced the adjective serēnus.

Pronunciation

(Classical) IPA^(key): /seˈres.koː/, [sɛˈrɛs.koː]

Verb

serescō (present infinitive serescere); third conjugation, no perfect or supine forms

I become dry.
