Accipiet

Accipiet is a Latin verb form meaning “he will receive” or “he will accept.” It is the third-person singular future indicative active of accipere, a verb meaning to take toward, to receive, or to accept. Accipere belongs to the 3rd IO conjugation, and the future indicative is formed from the present stem accip- with the ending -iet for the third person singular (as in accipiet), while other persons are accipiam, accipies, accipiet, accipiemus, accipietis, accipient.

The form reflects a regular pattern for 3rd IO verbs in the future; it contrasts with the present accipit (“he receives”) and the imperfect accipiebat (“he was receiving”). The related subjunctive forms include accipiat (present subjunctive) and acciperet (imperfect subjunctive). The semantic core of accipere—“to take toward, to receive, to accept”—encompasses both literal reception (receiving a gift, a letter) and figurative acceptance (accepting a proposal or decree).

Usage and examples: accipiet is used in narrative, legal, and religious Latin to denote a future action. For example, Marcus librum novum accipiet means “Marcus will receive a new book.” In broader Latin texts, accipiet frequently appears with time adverbs or contextual cues signaling a future event, and it can be complemented by complementary clauses expressing intention or consequence.

Overall, accipiet is a standard future form of accipere, illustrating how the 3rd IO conjugation marks future action in classical Latin. It is primarily of linguistic and historical interest, since it appears in ancient texts rather than in modern usage.
