suspicantur

Suspicantur is the third-person plural present indicative form of the Latin deponent verb suspicor, suspicari, suspicatus sum. Deponent verbs appear with passive morphology but carry active meanings, so suspicantur translates as “they suspect” or “they are suspicious,” depending on context. The principal parts are suspicor, suspicari, suspicatus sum.

The present system forms include: suspicor, suspicaris, suspicatur, suspicimur, suspicimini, suspicantur. The imperfect reads suspicabar, suspicabaris, suspicabatur, suspicabamur, suspicabamini, suspicabantur. The future is suspicabor, suspicaberis, suspicabitur, suspicabimur, suspicabimini, suspicabuntur. The perfect uses the participle with sum: suspicatus sum, suspicatus es, suspicatus est, suspicati sumus, suspicati estis, suspicati sunt. Pluperfect and other tenses follow the same deponent pattern with their respective auxiliary forms.

Usage notes: suspicor takes its meaning from “to suspect” or “to be suspicious” and can govern a direct object or accompany clauses that express doubt or belief about a person or situation. In translation, suspicantur is typically rendered as “they suspect”, though in some contexts it may convey a sense of being suspicious of someone or something rather than actively accusing them.

Origin and class: suspicor is a classical Latin deponent verb, illustrating how some verbs combine passive form with active meaning. It is commonly found in Latin literature for expressing doubt, suspicion, or inquiry into a matter.
