exiunt

Exiunt is a Latin verb form meaning "they go out" or "they exit." It is the third-person plural present active indicative of exire, the verb "to go out" or "to leave."

Origin and principal parts: exire is formed from ex- "out" + -ire "to go." The principal parts are exeo, exire, exii (or exivi), exitus. The present indicative active forms are: exeo, exis, exit, eximus, exitis, exiunt.

Usage: Exiunt appears frequently in Latin prose and poetry to indicate departure or exit from a place. It is common in narrative and, in drama, used as a stage direction to show characters leaving a scene. The form can occur in various syntactic contexts, including descriptions of action sequences or transitions between locations.

Grammatical notes: Exire is treated as part of the irregular or late Latin fourth-conjugation group in some grammars, and its paradigm can vary slightly between authors. Learners are advised to consult standard dictionaries and grammars for full forms across tenses and voices. Exiunt specifically marks the present, indicative, third-person plural, and matches the plural subjects of the Latin verb exire.
