What Does Adeste Mean Or Stand For?

Hi Sophielew and welcome to the WR Forums.

I'm moving this thread to the Other Languages Forum, as "Adeste" is probably latin.

Ciao, Walnut

It is not an italian word!

It might be the latin verb "ado"..

It reminds me the xmas song "Adeste, fideles, laeti triumphantes; Venite, venite in Bethlehem. Natum videte
Regem angelorum...."

 

[SOPHIELEW]

Thank you very much Walnut!!! I appreciate your help!

 

[walnut]

I agree Sarahflower!

Adeste = to rush, to run up

I'm studying latin at school

Hm, is it derived from "ad-esse" which doesn't exist?

sum - I am
es - you are
est - he/she/it is
sumus - we are
estis - you are
sunt - they are
es - be!
este - be (several people)!

But I don't know "adsum/ades/etc...", only "absum/abes/etc..."

Could someone please explain to me what the root of this word is?

"Adeste" comes form "adsum, es, adfui, adesse".
It does exist.
You could look it up on a latin dictionary. I have one and I've already checked it.

Okay, I just looked it up:

adesse: be there; attend; help; give so. one's support

SO ...

abeste: be there! Attend it! Help (them/him/etc.)! Give (them/him/etc.) your support!
