acciperetur

Acciperetur is a Latin verb form derived from accipere, meaning to take, receive, or accept. In classical Latin grammar, acciperetur is the imperfect passive subjunctive form of accipere, used in dependent clauses to express hypothetical or potential action in the past or in indirect discourse. The form is typically found in literary texts and later Latin prose, where speakers explore possibilities or report on behavior under different conditions.

Morphology and grammar: Acciperetur is a third-person singular form built on the stem accip-, with an ending that marks the imperfect passive subjunctive. It corresponds to phrases such as “that it would be received” or “that it might be accepted,” depending on context. As a member of the -ere verb group, it shares features with other imperfect passive subjunctive forms in subordinate clauses.

Usage: The form is most commonly encountered in conditional, concessive, or deliberative clauses, where authors discuss potential outcomes or report on what might be accepted under certain circumstances. It appears in both narrative and argumentative writing, contributing to nuanced expression of hypothetical events or reported opinions.

Relation to related forms: Acciperetur is one step in the broader inflectional system of accipere, which includes present forms (accipitur), perfect forms (acceperit), and other tenses in both active and passive voices. The root accip- traces back to the core meaning “to take/receive,” with the various endings encoding mood, voice, tense, and person.
