Usage notes
- The word ad is an antithesis to ab (just as in is to ex; in a progressive order of relation, ad denotes, first, the direction toward an object; then the reaching of or attaining to it; and finally, the being at or near it.)
- Often used of geographical position of a place in reference to the points of compass, with the verbs iaceō (“lie, be situated”), vergō (“incline, slope”), spectō (“observe, see”) etc.:
- Asia iacet ad meridiem et austrum, Europa ad septentriones et aquilonem.
- Asia lies near the prime meridian and the south, Europe near the northern regions and northern wind. (two words for north)
- Ad Atticam vergente.
- Inclining to Attic.
- Asia iacet ad meridiem et austrum, Europa ad septentriones et aquilonem.
- When appended to the beginning of a word, ad often becomes ap- when followed by ‘p’, as in appretiō, from pretium. But note that adpretiō is also found.
