adgrediebaris

Adgrediebaris is a Latin verb form, specifically the second-person singular imperfect form in the passive voice of the deponent verb adgredior. Because adgredior is deponent, its passive morphology carries an active meaning, so adgrediebaris translates as “you were approaching” or “you were attacking.” This form is part of the imperfect tense, used to describe ongoing or repeated action in the past.

The lemma adgredior is built from the prefix ad- “toward” and the verb gredi “to go, to advance.” As a deponent verb, adgredior belongs to the third conjugation group of Latin verbs that use passive endings for all tenses, while conveying an active sense in translation. The imperfect forms of adgredior follow the standard -bar, -baris, -batur endings of deponent verbs; thus adgrediebaris is the second-person singular.

In use, adgrediebaris appears in narrative and descriptive passages to indicate a past progression of action undertaken by the subject, typically in relation to an object or target expressed in the accusative or implied from context. For example, one might encounter a sentence such as “Miles adgrediebaris hostibus,” glossed as “You were attacking the enemies.” The exact syntax can vary by author and period, but the core meaning remains the same: a past, ongoing approach or assault described from a passive form with active sense.
