redditur

redditur is a Latin verb form meaning “it is returned” or “is being returned.” It is the third-person singular present passive indicative of reddere, a verb meaning to give back, return, or render. The form sits within the third conjugation, using the passive present endings.

Etymologically, redditur comes from the verb reddere (to return). In Latin, the passive present endings for the third conjugation yield reddor, redderis, redditur, reddimur, reddimini, redduntur; thus redditur expresses a present, passive action performed on the subject.

Usage and sense. In classical and medieval Latin, redditur is used to indicate that an object or matter is being returned or restored to someone, or that something is being rendered in return. It appears in legal, transactional, and narrative contexts, as well as in everyday descriptions of returning items or obligations. The passive voice often emphasizes the recipient or result of the action rather than the actor.

Examples. Pecunia redditur. (The money is returned.) Liber redditur ab eo. (The book is returned by him.) These examples show typical passive constructions where the subject is the item being returned and the agent, when named, is introduced by a preposition such as ab.

Related forms. The active counterpart is reddere (to return), with forms like reddo, reddis, reddit. The participle redditus is used as “returned” or “income/return” in different senses, and redditur is often encountered in Latin texts discussing restitution or obligations.
