-turio

turio Latin Alternative forms la -urriō possibly Etymology la. Latin vowel reduction probably caused any short vowel in a word-internal open syllable to evolve regularly to -e- before -r- (compare la -fer from itc-pro *-foros, la socer socerī from itc-pro *swekuros *swekurīParker Holt Neumon 1986 The relative chronology of some major Latin sound changes 266-267), which suggests that this suffix had a comparatively recent analogical origin. (An alternative opinion holds that -u- was regularly retained before -r-, but Parker 1986 argues that examples like la augurium can be explained by analogy, e.g. to the nominative la augur.) Possibly from la ine-pro *-tus *-tew- (as in the supine) + ine-pro *-rós.621 Possibly compare la -tūrus and/or la -tūra. According to De Melo 2007, Risch 1954 postulates the construction goes back to an unattested la *saturiō to be full from la satur, used as the basis for an analogical la ēsuriō, originally with the sense "to be hungry" but then evolving to "to want to eat".de Melo Wolfgang 2007 The Early Latin Verb System: Archaic Forms in Plautus, Terence, and Beyond 309 https://books.google.com/books?id=QwtREAAAQBAJ&pg=PA309 Possibly from la -tor- -iō fourth conjugation the original oblique stem of the agent suffix la -tor, from la itc-pro *-tōr, from ine-pro *-yéti denominative suffix.1894 Lindsay W.
