Etymology

From Proto-Italic *ap?, from Proto-Indo-European *h?ep- (“to get, grab”). Cognate with apex, Hittite ???????? (?app-, “to join, attach”), Ancient Greek ???? (hápt?, “I fasten”).

The term is only attested in another form than the participle in the work of the grammarian Sextus Pompeius Festus and in the Etymologiae of Saint Isidore of Seville.

Pronunciation

• (Classical) IPA^(key): /?a.po?/, [?äpo?]
• (Ecclesiastical) IPA^(key): /?a.po/, [???p?]

Verb

ap? (present infinitive apere, perfect active ap?, supine aptum); third conjugation

1. I fasten; attach, connect; join, bind
   • 8th C. C.E., Paulus Diaconus (author), Karl Otfried Müller (editor), Excerpta ex libris Pompeii Festi De significatione verborum (1839), page 17, line 9:

     Apex, quod est sacerdotum ?nsigne, dictus est ab e?, quod comprehendere ant?qu? vincul? apere d?c?bant. Unde aptus est, qu? conventienter alicui i?nctus est.

     The apex, which is the ensign of the Flamen, is called so because of the fact that in, the old language, tying with a rope was called apere. Whence aptus is something which is conventiently joined to something.
