redimo

Redimo is primarily known as the first-person singular present indicative form of the Latin verb redimere, meaning to buy back, redeem, or ransom. The lemma is redimere in its infinitive, with the corresponding perfect as redemi and the supine as redemptum. In Latin grammar, redimo belongs to the third conjugation of -ere verbs.

Etymology and usage: The verb derives from the root redim- formed with the infinitive ending -ere and conveys the action of purchasing back something that was previously owned or pledged. In classical Latin, redimere appears in legal, economic, and social contexts, such as redeeming captives, reclaiming property, or paying a ransom. The related noun redemptio denotes the act or result of redemption, and the participle redemptus functions as “redeemed” in various constructions. The semantic field also extends to rhetorical and religious texts where redemption is discussed in moral or spiritual terms.

Conjugation and forms: Like other -ere verbs, redimere follows a regular pattern in its conjugation. Present indicative: redimo, redimes, redimit, redimimus, redimitis, redimunt. The perfect indicative forms include redemi, redemisti, redemit, redemimus, redemistis, redemerunt. The participle redemptus is used in passive constructions and as an adjective meaning “redeemed.”

Modern usage: Outside the historical Latin context, redimo can appear as a brand name or fictional term in contemporary media, though it is not associated with a single dominant entity. In linguistic discussions, the form is cited as an example of Latin conjugation and meaning. See also redemptio, redemption.
