adiciō

ad--iciō lat. 'zuwerfe'

Von ad- „zu, in Richtung, bei“ +‎ iaciō „ich werfe, schleudere“.

Pronunciation

• (Classical) IPA^(key): /aˈdi.ki.oː/, [äˈd̪ɪkioː]
• (Classical) IPA^(key): /adˈi̯i.ki.oː/, [äd̪ˈi̯ɪkioː]
• (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA^(key): /adˈji.t͡ʃi.o/, [äd̪ˈjiːt͡ʃio]
• Note: both syllabifications occur when allowed by the meter; the shorter form probably original, the longer an analogical restoration, as with other compounds of iaciō.
