προυθυμεῖτο

"προυθυμεῖτο"

Person: 3rd

Number: singular

Tense: imperfect

Mood: indicative

Voice: middle

Dialect: Attic/Ionic

Lexical form: προθυμέομαι

Notes: The prefix προ- adds the nuance of 'before' or 'forward,' and the preverb εὐ- is often assimilated here as πρου- (from πρὸ + ἐθ.). The imperfect indicates continuous or repeated action in the past; the middle voice reflects that the subject is acting with reference to self, i.e., 'was showing zeal (for).' The form is contracted due to the verb being contracted in -έομαι.
