Admove

/ædˈmuːv/ verb

Definition

To move toward something; to bring or direct something to a place or person.

Etymology

From Latin admovere (ad- 'toward' + movere 'to move'). This variant of admov represents an older English pronunciation and is even rarer in modern usage.

Kelly Says

The existence of both admov and admove shows how Latin verbs entering English could take multiple forms before standardization—like how 'move toward' won out over both versions.
