relinquere

Italian

Etymology

Borrowed from Latin relinquere.

Pronunciation
  • IPA(key): /reˈlin.kwe.re/
  • Rhymes: -inkwere
  • Hyphenation: re‧lìn‧que‧re

Verb

relìnquere (first-person singular present relìnquo, no past historic, past participle relìtto, no imperfect, no future, no imperfect subjunctive, no imperative, auxiliary avére)

  1. (poetic) abandon, leave behind

Usage notes
  • Per Treccani, the composed tenses are lacking, and relitto functions only as an adjective. The assumption that relitto is a past participle comes from Hoepli.
