accipietur

Accipietur is a Latin verb form meaning “it will be received” or “it shall be accepted.” It is the third-person singular future passive indicative of the verb accipere, “to receive, to take in, to accept.” The form combines the stem accipi- with the passive future ending -etur, a pattern characteristic of Latin’s 3rd-conjugation -io verbs in the passive voice.

Morphology and use: Accipietur denotes a future action experienced by the subject, with the agent often expressed by a or ab phrases in the ablative. It is encountered in legal, administrative, or narrative Latin to indicate that something will come under reception or acceptance at a future time. The corresponding active form is accipiet (“he/she/it will receive”), while the present passive is accipitur (“it is received”). The past participle of accipere is acceptus, yielding phrases such as acceptus/a/um for “having been received.”

Etymology: Accipietur derives from accipere, formed from ad- (toward) and capere (to take), with the standard morphological adjustments that produce the future passive of a 3rd-conjugation -io verb.

Examples:

- Donum accipietur a legatis. The gift will be received by the legates.

- Res accipietur a senatu in iudicio futuro. The matter will be received by the Senate in the forthcoming trial.
