INCHOATIVE, a term signifying the beginning of a
thing or action, and the same with what is otherwise called
inceptive.
Inchoative Verbs denote, according to Priscian and
other grammarians, verbs which are characterised by the
termination scō or scor added to their primitives; as auge-
sco from augeo, calesco from caleo, irascor from ira, and
so of the rest.
