comparō (present infinitive comparāre, perfect active comparāvī, supine comparātum); first conjugation

1. to prepare, get ready, provide, furnish
   • c. 52 BCE, Julius Caesar, Commentarii de Bello Gallico 1.3:

     Hīs rēbus adductī et auctōritāte Orgetorīgis permōtī, cōnstituērunt ea quae ad proficīscendum pertinērent comparāre: iūmentōrum et carrōrum quam māximum numerum coëmere, sēmentēs quam māximās facere ut in itinere cōpia frūmentī suppeteret, cum proximīs cīvitātibus pācem et amīcitiam cōnfirmāre.

     Induced by these considerations and influenced by the authority of Orgetorix, they decided to prepare those things which pertained to setting out: to buy up the greatest possible number of pack animals and carts, to make the greatest possible plantings so that a supply of grain might be available on their journey, and to establish peace and friendship with the nearest states.

2. to compare, match, place together, couple, form into pairs

   Synonyms: aequō, contendō, cōnferō
