Producimur

Producimur is a Latin verb form: the present passive indicative first person plural of the verb producere, meaning “we are produced” or “we are brought forth.” The word is built from the prefix pro- (forth, forward) and ducere (to lead). In the present tense the ending -imur marks the first person plural passive, with the subject typically understood as nos. The active counterpart is producimus, meaning “we produce.”

Usage and sense: Producimur denotes that the subject is being brought forth or produced by another agent, or by a natural process. It appears in classical and later Latin to describe births, productions, or outcomes of processes, and it can also be used metaphorically for ideas, works, or phenomena that come into existence.

Grammatical notes: As a present passive form, producimur agrees with its plural subject. The agent of production is usually expressed in a by-phrase using a preposition with the ablative (for example ab or a, followed by the agent in the ablative, such as ab auctoribus, “by authors”). In other tenses and voices, related forms of producere appear, such as producitur (it is produced) or produximus (we have produced).

Context and relevance: Producere and its passive forms, including producimur, are encountered across Latin literature and grammar texts. They illustrate the broader Latin system of voice and aspect, where action is described from the perspective of the recipient of the action rather than the doer.
