publish, v.|ˈpʌblɪʃ| Forms: see below. [ME. puplise, -ish, poplis, etc., and publisshe, publisce, etc., f. OF. puplier, poploiier, (later) publier, ad. L. pūblicāre to make public, publish, confiscate, f. pūblic-us public. The OF. pup-, pop- forms either represented a popular L. poplicare (cf. early L. poplicus, poblicus = publicus, and med.L. pupplicare in 15th c. eccles. documents), or were due to later influence of OF. pople, peuple, ad. L. populus people. The normal Eng. repr. of OF. publier was publy: cf. carry v. Publish may repr. an AF. *publir, *puplir (not found), but was app. due to imitation of verbs etymologically ending in -ish (-ish2): cf. astonish, distinguish, famish, vanquish. The spelling publice may have been influenced by L. publicāre.] A. Illustration of Forms.
