INCEPTIVE VERBS

Answer 3

The letters -sc- inserted between the stem and the end- ing of the Latin infinitive denote the beginning of an action. Example: valere, be well, valescere, begin to get well. The present participles of inceptive verbs give us many English derivatives. English: convalescent, beginning to get well.
