Phlb. 32c), <b class="b3">προσδόκιμος</b> (Ion.-Att.).<br />Origin: GR [a formation built with Greek elements]<br />Etymology: <b class="b3">δοκέω</b> (and <b class="b3">προσδοκάω</b>) are deverbative derivations of primary (<b class="b3">προσ-</b>) <b class="b3">δέκομαι</b> (s. [[δέχομαι]]). Like alle secondary verbs originally only present stems, for the other tempora the primary verb was used. Such a system is <b class="b3">δόξαι</b>, <b class="b3">δόξω</b>, if with <b class="b3">-ο-</b> after <b class="b3">δοκέω</b> for <b class="b3">*δέξαι</b>, <b class="b3">*δέξω</b> (Wackernagel KZ 33, 37; further Schwyzer 718). - Lengthened <b class="b3">δοκεύω</b> (s. above) and <b class="b3">δοκάζω</b> [[await]] (Sophr., S. Fr. 221, 23) because of their meaning better to <b class="b3">-δοκάω</b>, <b class="b3">δέκομαι</b> than to <b class="b3">δοκέω</b>. - The semantic relations are difficult in detail. To <b class="b3">δοκέω</b> agrees Lat. [[doceō]] [[learn]] (causative). On <b class="b3">δοκέω</b> in general s. Fournier Les verbes "dire" passim, esp. 166f. - Further relatives s. <b class="b3">δέχομαι</b> and <b class="b3">δοκός</b>.
