modification of the final "letter" sound from: "-(u)-m" to
"-(u)-s" [from: "actum," to: "actus"] modifies the "sense" that orients the
word to a specific "definition" in experience.)
To continue, the "sense" of the Latin word written: "actum",
is considered to be derived from the Latin stem: "agere", which,
as a verb, is translated into the American verb phrase: 'to do';
and here, one may observe that: 'to do', is another "sense" of
the word: "act", as in the experience of: 'to act (in a certain
way)' is 'to do (a certain thing, or a specific movement)'. (See:
the suffix: "-er"; i.e., one that is: 'to do,' is the: "doer" [of the act].)
Now, at this point in the historical search for the "sense"
of the (modern) word written: "act", the Latin stem: "agere", is considered
to be derived from the Indo-European root written: "*ag-",
and the "sense" of: "*ag-", is given as: "drive" or "do".
Here, one may "notice" that the "sense" of: "drive" or "do", is
fundamentally involved in the words written: "dagger", "brag",
"drag", "rage" and "stage"; and this "sense" is involved in the
"meaning" of the following American "terms": "aggression", "aggravate"
and "agitate". (See the prefix: "ad-"; i.e., 'to add'
is: 'to "do" (a specific movement) [here]'; the suffix written:
"-agogue"; and the word: "age" ["aye" => IE. root: "*aiw" =>
'vital force' => "*aiw" => "ow" as in: "now"]; also, compare the
words: "geo-", "gyro", and "year".)
(See: "aggregate" / "agitate" / "aglet" || "eagle")
