English Suffix -E
Note the use of the English suffix -e to form verbs from Latin infinitives: reduce (du cere, lead), excite (excita re, rouse), inspire (spira re, breathe), and so forth.
Inceptive Verbs
The letters -sc-inserted between the stem and the end-ing of the Latin infinitive denote the beginning of an action. Example: valere, be well, valescere, begin to get well. The present participles of inceptive verbs give us many English derivatives. English: convalescent, beginning to get well. m m
