con-cĭpĭo, cēpi, ceptum, 3, v. a. [capio], to take or lay hold of, to take to one’s self, to take in, take, receive, etc. (class. in prose and poetry). Can mean specifically: to perceive in mind.
- to comprehend intellectually, to take in, imagine, conceive, think
per-cĭpĭo, cēpi, ceptum, 3, v. a. [capio], to take wholly, to seize entirely (cf. occupo).
- To peceive
- To feel
- To learn, know, conceive, comprehend, understand, perceive
The substitution of percipio for concipio suggests an emphasis on understanding via the heart as opposed to a purely intellectual understanding.
