## Latin
### Etymology

The etymology of this word hinges on whether Oscan urust should be accepted as cognate:
* If so, this word is from Proto-Indo-European *h₂er- (“to pronounce a ritual”) (Rix reconstructs Proto-Italic *ōrāō), see also Hittite 𒀀𒊑𒉿𒄑𒍣 (a-ru-wa-ez-zi, “to worship, revere”), 𒀀𒊑𒂊𒄑𒍣 (a-ri-e-ez-zi, “to consult an oracle”), Attic Greek ἀρά (ará, “prayer”), and Sanskrit आर्यन्ति (āryanti, “praise”).
* If not, then a derivation from ōs, ōris (“mouth”) becomes possible; this is still supported by De Vaan.

### Pronunciation

* (Classical Latin) IPA: /ˈoː.roː/, [ˈoːroː]
* (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA: /ˈo.ro/, [ˈɔːro]

### Verb

ōrō (present infinitive ōrāre, perfect active ōrāvī, supine ōrātum); first conjugation
* to orate, deliver a speech publicly
    Synonym: cōntiōnor
* to plead, beg, pray, entreat
    Synonyms: supplicō, obsecrō, expetō, efflāgitō, flāgitō, rogō
** 405 CE, Jerome, Vulgate 1 Thessalonicenses 5:25:Frātrēs, ōrāte prō nōbīs.Brothers, pray for us.

#### Conjugation

$^1$At least one use of the Old Latin "sigmatic future" and "sigmatic aorist" tenses is attested, which are used by Old Latin writers; most notably Plautus and Terence. The sigmatic future is generally ascribed a future or future perfect meaning, while the sigmatic aorist expresses a possible desire ("might want to"). $^2$At least one rare poetic syncopated perfect form is attested.
