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