What is the Latin word meaning 'to see'?

watanas siam

latin was dead long before videos were around... look for the root of sight if anything...

I think [not sure at all] that vide is the latin root for the word video, since latin word vide mean "see/look" etcetera. For example "In lumine Tuo videbimus lumen" or in English "In thy Light we shall see the light" the word videbimus is composed of vide meaning see + bi meaning shall and mus meaning we. Not sure if this is etymologically correct, nevertheless it sounded logical to me.

Latin word meaning hunger?

Yes. Comedere. It's the infinitive of the verb: to eat.

Verbs in Latin conjugate in a variety of ways. There are four basic conjugations which are referred to as their four principle parts. Comedere is the 2nd principle part: the infinitive.Latin verbs also contain properties such as mood, voice, tense, participle.

The word comedere is in the active voice, present tense, indicative mood. The basic active paradigm then is:

Comedo I eat

Comedisyou eat

Comedithe/she/it eats

Comedemus weeat

Comedetis you alleat

Comedent they eat

So if I write: comedo piscis. I am saying, "I eat fish." But if I want to say, "They ate fish," then I would have to write:Comedebant pisces. because I have changed the tense to imperfect (past) and thus the verb ending and noun case changes.

Is September a Latin or Greek?

September comes from the Latin root "septe", meaning "Seven".

Curiously, several of our months come from Latin numbers, and they're all off by two. "September" for seven, even though that's the 9th month, "October" from "octo" for eight when October is the tenth month, "November" from "nona" for nine, and December from the Roman word for ten, when December is the 12th month.

The reason for the disconnect is that the Roman months were numbered that way because the year began around the time of the spring equinox, which is in March.
