accipio

Accipio, accipere, accepi, acceptum. Third conjugation of the -io kind, so the present takes the extra i, accipio, accipis, accipit, accipiunt, but the infinitive still ends in -ere, not -ire. It is ad plus capio, with the a of the simple verb weakened to i in the compound, exactly as in facio giving efficio.

Two senses beyond "receive" earn attention. It means "hear, be told": ita accepimus, "so we have been informed". And it means taking a thing a certain way: in bonam partem accipere, "to take it well". Note its neighbours, which differ only in the prefix and quite a lot in sense: capio takes, recipio takes back, excipio takes out or makes an exception.
