Etymology

From Ancient Greek φῠ́ομαι (“I am produced, grown”) of active φῠ́ω.

Pronunciation
  • IPA(key): /ˈfi.o.me/
  • Hyphenation: φύ‧ο‧μαι

Verb

φύομαι • (fýomai) deponent found chiefly in the present tense

  1. (intransitive, formal) grow, sprout, germinate
    Synonym: φυτρώνω (fytróno)
    For transitive, see φυτεύω (fytévo, “I plant”)

Usage notes
  • Dictionaries mention past tense[1], past and imperfect tense (the present stem)[2].
  • When past tenses are needed, some ancient forms from inflection of φύω may be used:
    εφύετο (efýeto, “it was grown”) (ἐφῠ́ετο)
    εφύην (efýin, “I grew”), εφύη (efýi, “it grew”)[3] (ἐφῠ́η, late form of ἔφῡ)
