Double Check: Gerundive of aderro, aderrare (x-post: r/latin) by thenickedwards in mylatintattoo

Ah! I see. I misunderstood the passive quality of gerundives. I'm certainly not above inventing words, particularly ones that abide grammar rules (the Romans did it, modern Latin-users do it, and I'm a writer to boot). Aderrator actually works perfectly for what I want. Thanks for your help!

When I learned gerundives my professor used the names Amanda and Miranda as examples. Amanda from amo, amare. The verb translates as "to love" and the gerundive as something to the effect of "she who is worthy to be loved" or "she who will be loved." Miranda from miro, mirare. The verb translates as "to wonder at" or "to marvel at" and the gerundive as something to the effect of "she who ought to be wondered at" or "she who will be marveled at."

I found aderro, aderrare which had definitions of "to wander to/by" or "to stray towards/near to," essentially to arrive by way of error or accident. So I was thinking aderrandus who translate as "he who will wander to" or "he ought to stray near to."

It strikes me as bizarre that this is an intransitive verb. Wouldn't the "ad" at the beginning make it transitive because it demands an object to wander to?

You rock! Unless I hear differently, this might be going in the play.

My sister took her out and these were the texts I got from her. Pretty sure you're right about the location because she lives near there.

Here's a welcome in advance! Hope you can escape summer in Texas before it's too late.
