[ˈaːr.de.oː]
Etymology
From ār(i)dus + -eō. Cf. audeō < avidus. For the supine ārsum compare also audeō : ausum and gaudeō : gavīsum, in which the i was retained. It is possible that this term is cognate with Umbrian aso, the perfect passive participle of an unattested verb which may have been the Umbrian equivalent of this term.
