fio

• (Balearic, Valencian) IPA^(key): /ˈfi.o/
• (Central) IPA^(key): /ˈfi.u/

fio

1. first-person singular present indicative form of fiar

From Ancient Greek φῖ (phî, “the letter Φ”).

• IPA^(key): /ˈfio/
• Hyphenation: fi‧o
• Rhymes: -io

fio (accusative singular fion, plural fioj, accusative plural fiojn)

1. phi

From Old French fieu (“fief”), from Frankish *fehu, from Proto-Germanic *fehu, from Proto-Indo-European *peḱu- (“livestock”).

fio m (plural fii)

1. retribution
2. penalty

From Proto-Italic *fuiō, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *bʰuH- (“to grow, become, come into being, appear”). Compare with fuī, originally the perfect of this verb but now attached to sum (“I am”); and constructions with -bō, -bam (e.g. amābō, placēbō, nocēbō, monēbam, audiēbam).

The past participle is that of the unrelated verb faciō (“I make, do”). In Latin faciō and fīō were treated as the active and passive equivalents of each other, leading to suppletion.

• (Classical) IPA^(key): /ˈfiː.oː/

fīō (present infinitive fierī, perfect active factus sum); third conjugation, semi-deponent

1. (copulative) I become, am made

   Vos oramus ut discipuli acerrimi fiatis.

   We are begging you so that you may become very keen students.

2. I happen
3. I take place

While it does have a fourth conjugation pattern when conjugated, this verb has an irregular infinitive (fīerī), and is therefore third conjugation.
