From the root: IMPERO
Part of Speech: Verb
Explanation: IMPERO is a Latin verb meaning 'to command,' 'to order,' 'to rule,' or 'to govern.' It is often used with a dative object, indicating to whom the command is given. For example, 'imperare militibus' means 'to command the soldiers.' It can also be used with an accusative object to indicate what is commanded, or with a dependent clause.
Inflection: First conjugation, Present Active Indicative, 1st Person Singular (I command); or, Present Active Imperative, Singular (Command!). Given the lack of macrons, it could also be interpreted as the infinitive 'imperare' if the 'o' was a typo for 'e'. However, 'impero' as 1st person singular is the most common interpretation.
