agendo

Agendo is a Latin term that functions as the ablative singular form of the gerund of the verb agere, meaning “to do” or “to act.” In classical Latin, agendo is used to express means, manner, or method, often translated as “by doing” or “through action” in English. The construction is grammatical and appears in sentences that discuss how an action is learned, achieved, or carried out. A well-known example is agendo discimus, which translates to “we learn by doing.” As a gerund in the ablative case, agendo provides a way to refer to the action itself in a noun-like form.

In modern usage, agendo is sometimes adopted as a proper noun or brand name by various organizations, projects, or products. When used in this way, it generally functions as a coined or arbitrary name rather than conveying a direct translational meaning from Latin. Because agendo primarily denotes a Latin grammatical form, it does not have a standalone English definition beyond its linguistic role, though it may appear in discussions of Latin syntax or in branding contexts where classical or action-oriented naming is favored.
