resignabimus

Resignabimus is a Latin verb form meaning “we will resign.” It is the first‑person plural future indicative of resignare, a verb formed from re‑ “again” plus signare “to sign, to mark.” The form follows the regular o‑verb conjugation: resignō (I sign), resignāri (to sign), resignabō (I will sign). In this case, resignabimus translates literally to “we will sign again” or metaphorically “we will resign,” as resignare also means to relinquish an office or position.

In classical Latin the verb resignare is found sparsely, primarily in legal and administrative contexts, where it denotes the act of stepping down from a public office or relinquishing duties. The future tense appears in a few late Classical and early Republican texts where officials announce their planned departure. In Renaissance Latin, the word reappears in polemical writings, often in anti‑hierarchical literature, with signifying the symbolic act of leaving ecclesiastical or civic office. Modern renditions of the phrase are occasionally employed as mottos on plaques or in the names of civic initiatives, using resignabimus to emphasize a collective decision to withdraw from an arrangement or alliance.

Etymologically, resignare derives from latin signum “sign, mark” with the prefix re‑ adding the sense of performing the action anew. The future form resignabimus shows the usual Latin future suffix –bō followed by the personal ending –mus. It thus reflects the calculation of Latin tense‑aspect‑person morphology: conjugation of a regular o‑verb.

Although not widely used in everyday classical literature, resignabimus remains a clear example of Latin verb conjugation that illustrates how future intent can be expressed for a collective subject.
