DAMNUM; DETRIMENTUM; JACTURA. +Damnum+ (#dapanê#) is a loss incurred by one's self, in opp. to _lucrum_. Plaut. Cist. i. 1, 52. Capt. ii. 2, 77. Ter. Heaut. iv. 4, 25. Cic. Fin. v. 30. Sen. Ben. iv. 1. Tranq. 15; whereas +detrimentum+ (from detrivisse) means a loss endured, in opp. to _emolumentum_. Cic. Fin. i. 16. iii. 29; lastly, +jactura+ is a voluntary loss, by means of which one hopes to escape a greater loss or evil, a sacrifice. Hence +damnum+ is used for a fine; and in the form, Videant Coss., ne quid resp. _detrimenti_ capiat, the word _damnum_ could never be substituted for _detrimentum_. (v. 251.)

DELICTUM; PECCATUM; MALEFACTUM; MALEFICIUM; FACINUS; FLAGITIUM; SCELUS; NEFAS; IMPIETAS. 1. +Delictum+ and +peccatum+ denote the lighter sort of offences; +delictum+, more the transgression of positive laws, from levity; +peccatum+ (from #pachus#), rather of the laws of nature and reason, from indiscretion. 2. A synonyme and as it were a circumlocution of the above words is +malefactum+; whereas +maleficium+ and +facinus+ involve a direct moral reference; +maleficium+ is any misdeed which, as springing from evil intention, deserves punishment; but +facinus+, a crime which, in addition to the evil intention, excites astonishment and alarm from the extraordinary degree of daring requisite thereto. 3. There are as many sorts of evil deeds, as there are of duties, against oneself, against others, against the gods; +flagitium+ (from #blagis#) is an offence against oneself, against one's own honor, by gluttony, licentiousness, cowardice; in short, by actions which are not the consequence of unbridled strength, but of moral weakness, as evincing _ignavia_, and incurring shame; whereas +scelus+ (#sklêron#) is an offence against others, against the right of individuals, or the peace of society, by robbery, murder, and particularly by sedition, by the display, in short, of malice; +nefas+ (#aphaton#) is an offence against the gods, or against nature, by blasphemy, sacrilege, murder of kindred, betrayal of one's country; in short, by the display of _impietas_, an impious outrage.

Sen. Prov. 5. Quid opus fuit _auferre_? accipere potuistis; sed ne nunc quidem _auferetis_, quia nihil _eripitu_ nisi retinenti. Cic. Verr. i. 4, 60. Si quis clam _surripiat_ aut _eripiat_ palam atque _auferat_: and ii. 1, 3. Non _furem_ sed _ereptorem_. (iv. 123.)

DESTITUERE, see _Relinquere_.
DESTRUERE; DEMOLIRI. +Destruere+ means to pull down an artificially constructed, +demoliri+, a solid, building. (vi. 2.)
DETERIOR; PEJOR. +Deterior+ (a double comparative from de) means, like #cheirôn#, that which has degenerated from a good state, that which has become less worthy; whereas +pejor+ (from #pezos#), like #kakiôn#, that which has fallen from bad to worse, that which is more evil than it was. Hence Sallust. Or. Phil. 3. Æmilius omnium flagitiorum postremus, qui _pejor_ an ignavior sit deliberari non potest:--in this passage _deterior_ would form no antithesis to _ignavior_. The _deterrimi_ are the objects of contempt, the _pessimi_ of abhorrence; Catullus employs the expression _pessimas puellas_, 'the worst of girls,' in a jocular sense, in a passage where this expression has a peculiar force; whereas _deterrimus_ could, under no circumstances, be employed as a jocular expression, any more than the words _wretched_, _depraved_.

DICERE; AIO; INQUAM; ASSEVERARE; AFFIRMARE; CONTENDERE; FARI; FABULARI. 1. +Dicere+ denotes to say, as conveying information, in reference to the hearer, in opp. to _tacere_, like the neutral word _loqui_. Cic. Rull. ii. 1. Ver. ii. 1, 71, 86. Plin. Ep. iv. 20. vii. 6, like #legein#; but +aio+ expresses an affirmation, with reference to the speaker, in opp. to _nego_. Cic. Off. iii. 23. Plaut. Rud. ii. 4, 14. Terent. Eun. ii. 2, 21, like #phanai#. 2. +Ait+ is in construction with an indirect form of speech, and therefore generally governs an infinitive; whereas +inquit+ is in construction with a direct form of speech, and therefore admits an indicative, imperative, or conjunctive. 3. +Aio+ denotes the simple affirmation of a proposition by merely expressing it, whereas +asseverare+, +affirmare+, +contendere+, denote an emphatic affirmation; +asseverare+ is to affirm in earnest, in opp. to a jocular, or even light affirmation, _jocari_. Cic. Brut. 85; +affirmare+, to affirm as certain, in opp. to doubts and rumors, _dubitare_, Divin. ii. 3, 8; +contendere+, to affirm against contradiction, and to maintain one's opinion, in opp. to yielding it up, or renouncing it. 4. +Dicere+ (#deixai#) denotes to say, without any accessory notion, whereas +loqui+ (#lakein#), as a transitive verb, with the contemptuous accessory notion that that which is said is mere idle talk. Cic. Att. xiv. 4. Horribile est quæ _loquantur_, quæ minitentur. 5. +Loqui+ denotes speaking in general; +fabulari+, a good-humored, or, at least, pleasant mode of speaking, to pass away the time, in which no heed is taken of the substance and import of what is said, like #lalein#; lastly, +dicere+, as a neuter verb, denotes a speech prepared according to the rules of art, a studied speech, particularly from the rostrum, like #legein#. Liv. xlv. 39. Tu, centurio, miles, quid de imperatore Paulo senatus decreverit potius quam quid Sergio Galba _fabuletur_ audi, et hoc _dicere_ me potius quam illum audi; ille nihil præterquam _loqui_, et id ipsum maledice et maligne _didicit_. Cic. Brut. 58. Scipio sane mihi bene et _loqui_ videtur et _dicere_. Orat. iii. 10. Neque enim conamur docere eum _dicere_ qui _loqui_ nesciat. Orat. 32. Muren. 34, 71. Suet. Cl. 4. Qui tam #asaphôs# _loquatur_, qui possit quum declamat #saphôs# _dicere_ quæ _dicenda_ sunt non video. 6. +Fari+ (#phanai#) denotes speaking, as the mechanical use of the organs of speech to articulate sounds and words, nearly in opp. to _infantem esse_; whereas +loqui+ (#lakein#), as the means of giving utterance to one's thoughts, in opp. to _tacere_. And as +fari+ may be sometimes limited to the utterance of single words, it easily combines with the image of an unusual, imposing, oracular brevity, as in the decrees of fate, _fati_; whereas +loqui+, as a usual mode of speaking, is applicable to excess in speaking, _loquacitas_. (iv. 1.)
DICTERIUM, see _Verbum_.
DICTO AUDIENTEM ESSE, see _Parere_.
DIES; TEMPUS; TEMPESTAS; DIE; INTERDIU. 1. +Dies+ (from #endios#) denotes time in its pure abstract nature, as mere extension and progression; whereas +tempus+ and +tempestas+, with a qualifying and physical reference, as the weather and different states of time; +tempus+ denotes rather a mere point of time, an instant, an epoch; +tempestas+, an entire space of time, a period. Hence +dies docebit+ refers to a long space of time, after the lapse of which information will come, like #chronos#; whereas +tempus docebit+ refers to a particular point of time which shall bring information, like #kairos#. (iv. 267.) 2. +Die+ means by the day, in opp. to by the hour or the year; whereas +interdiu+ and +diu+, by day, in opp. to _noctu_; but +interdiu+ stands in any connection; +diu+ only in direct connection with _noctu_. (iv. 288.)
DIES FESTI, see _Solemnia_.
[[IN SINGULOS DIES, see _Quotidie_.]]
DIFFERRE; PROFERRE; PROCRASTINARE; PROROGARE. 1. +Differre+ denotes delay in a negative sense, whereby a thing is not done at present, but laid aside; whereas +proferre+ and +procrastinare+, delay in a positive sense, as that which is to take place at a future time; +proferre+ refers to some other time in general; +procrastinare+, to the very next opportunity. 2. +Differre+ denotes an action, the beginning of which is put off; +prorogare+, a condition or state, the ending of which is put off, as to protract. (vi. 102.)

DILIGERE; AMARE; DEAMARE; ADAMARE; CARITAS; AMOR; PIETAS. 1. +Diligere+ (from #alegein#) is love arising from esteem, and, as such, a result of reflection on the worth of the beloved object, like #philein#; whereas +amare+ is love arising from inclination, which has its ground in feeling, and is involuntary, or quite irresistible, like #eran#, #erasthai#; +diligere+ denotes a purer love, which, free from sensuality and selfishness, is also more calm; +amare+, a warmer love, which, whether sensual or platonic, is allied to passion. Cic. Att. xiv. 17. Tantum accessit ut mihi nunc denique _amare_ videar, ante _dilexisse_. Fam. xiii. 47. Brut. i. 1. Plin. Ep. iii. 9. 2. +Amare+ means to love in general; +deamare+, as an intensive, to love desperately, like _amore deperire_; and +adamare+, as an inchoative, to fall in love. 3. +Caritas+, in an objective sense, means to be dear to some one; +amor+, to hold some one dear: hence the phrases, _Caritas_ apud aliquem; _amor_ erga aliquem. 4. +Caritas+, in a subjective sense, denotes any tender affection, especially that of parents towards their children, without any mixture of sensuality, and refers merely to persons, like #agapê# or #storgê#; whereas +amor+ denotes ardent passionate love to persons or things, like #erôs#; lastly, +pietas+ (from #psêchô#, #psiês#, the instinctive love to persons and things, which we are bound to love by the holy ties of nature, the gods, those related to us by blood, one's native country, and benefactors. +Caritas+ rejoices in the beloved object and its possession, and shows itself in friendship and voluntary sacrifices; +amor+ wishes evermore to get the beloved object in its power, and loves with a restless unsatisfied feeling; +pietas+ follows a natural impulse and religious feeling. (iv. 97.)

DISCEPTATIO; LITIGATIO; CONTROVERSIA; CONTENTIO; ALTERCATIO; JURGIUM; RIXA. 1. +Disceptatio+, +litigatio+, and +controversia+, are dissensions, the settling of which is attempted quietly, and in an orderly way; +contentio+, +altercatio+, and +jurgium+, such as are conducted with passion and vehemence, but which are still confined to words; +rixæ+ (#orektês#) such as, like frays and broils come to blows, or at least threaten to come to blows, and are mid-way between _jurgium_ and _pugna_. Liv. xxxv. 17. Ex _disceptatione altercationem_ fecerunt. Tac. Hist. i. 64. _Jurgia_ primum, mox _rixa_ inter Batavos et legionarios. Dial. 26. Cassius Severus non pugnat, sed _rixatur_. 2. +Controversia+ takes place between two parties the moment they place themselves in array on opposite sides; +disceptatio+, when they commence disputing with each other, in order to arrive at the path of truth, or to discover what is right, but without a hostile feeling; +litigatio+, when a hostile feeling and a personal interest are at the bottom of the dispute. 3. +Contentio+ would maintain the right against all opponents, and effect its purpose, whatever it may be, by the strenuous exertion of all its faculties; +altercatio+ would not be in debt to its opponent a single word, but have the last word itself; +jurgium+ (from #orgê#) will, without hearkening to another, give vent to its ill-humor by harsh words. +Contentio+ presents the serious image of strenuous exertion; +altercatio+, the comic image of excessive heat, as in women's quarrels; +jurgium+, the hateful image of rude anger. (v. 274.)
DISCERNERE; DISTINGUERE. +Discernere+ (#diakrinein#) means to distinguish by discrimination and judgment; +distinguere+ (#diastixai#, or #diatengein#), by signs and marks. (vi. 103.)
DISCIPLINÆ, see _Literæ_.
DISCRIMEN, see _Tentare_.
DISERTUS; FACUNDUS; ELOQUENS. +Disertus+ and +facundus+ denote a natural gift or talent for speaking, whereas +eloquens+, an acquired and cultivated art. +Disertus+ is he who speaks with clearness and precision; +facundus+, he who speaks with elegance and beauty; +eloquens+, he who combines clearness and precision with elegance and beauty. The _disertus_ makes a good teacher, who may nevertheless be confined to a one-sided formation of intellect; the _facundus_ is a good companion, whose excellence may nevertheless be confined to a superficial adroitness in speaking, without acuteness or depth, whereas the _eloquens_, whether he speaks as a statesman or as an author, must, by talent and discipline in all that relates to his art, possess a complete mastery over language, and the resources of eloquence. Cic. Orat. 5, 19. Antonius . . . . _disertos_ ait se vidisse multos, _eloquentem_ omnino neminem. Quintil. viii. pr. 13. _Diserto_ satis dicere quæ oporteat; ornate autem dicere proprium est _eloquentissimi_. Suet. Cat. 53. _Eloquentiæ_ quam plurimum adtendit, quantumvis _facundus_ et promptus. (iv. 14.)
DISPAR, see _Æquus_.
DISPERTIRE, see _Dividere_.
DISPUTARE, see _Disserere_.
DISSERERE; DISPUTARE. +Disserere+ (#dierein#) means to express an opinion in a didactic form, and at the same time to explain the grounds of that opinion; but +disputare+ (#diaputhesthai#) in a polemical form, and to take into consideration the arguments against it, and with one's opponent, whether an imaginary person or actually present, to weigh argument against argument, and ascertain on which side the balance of truth lies. The _disserens_ takes only a subjective view of the question; but the _disputans_ would come at a result of objective validity. +Disserere+, moreover, denotes a freer, +disputare+ a more methodical discussion of the subject. Cic. Rep. iii. 16 i. 24. Fin. i. 9, 31. Orat. ii. 3, 13. (iv. 19.)
DISTINGUERE, see _Discernere_.

DIVIDERE; PARTIRI; DIRIMERE; DISPERTIRE; DISTRIBUERE. 1. +Dividere+ and +dirimere+ mean to divide something, merely in order to break the unity of the whole, and separate it into parts, whereas +partiri+ means to divide, in order to get the parts of the whole, and to be able to dispose of them. Hence the phrases _divide et impera_, and _dividere sententias_, but _partiri prædam_. 2. +Divisio+ denotes, theoretically, the separation of a genus into its species, whereas +partitio+, the separation of the whole into its parts. Quintil. v. 10, 63. Cic. Top. 5. 3. +Dividere+ refers to a whole, of which the parts are merely locally and mechanically joined, and therefore severs only an exterior connection; but +dirimere+ refers to a whole, of which the parts organically cohere, and destroys an interior connection. Liv. xxii. 15. Casilinum urbs . . . Volturno flumine _dirempta_ Falernum ac Campanum agrum _dividit_: for the separation of a city into two halves by a river, is an interior separation, whereas the separation of two neighboring districts by a city, is an exterior separation. 4. +Dividere+ means also to separate into parts, without any accessory notion, whereas +dispertire+, with reference to future possessors, and +distribuere+, with reference to the right owners, or to proper and suitable places. (iv. 156.)
DIVINARE; PRÆSAGIRE; PRÆSENTIRE; PRÆVIDERE; VATICINARI; PRÆDICERE. 1. +Divinare+ denotes foreseeing by divine inspiration and supernatural aid, like #manteuesthai#; +præsagire+ (præ and #hêgeisthai#), in a natural way, by means of a peculiar organization of mind bordering on the supernatural; +præsentire+ and +prævidere+, by an unusual measure of natural talent; +præsentire+, by immediate presentiment; +prævidere+, by foresight, by an acute and happy combination. 2. +Divinare+, etc., are merely acts of perception, whereas +vaticinatio+ and +prædictio+, the open expression of what is foreseen; +vaticinatio+, that of the _divinans_ and _præsagiens_, like #prophêteia#, prophecy; but +prædictio+, that of the _præsentiens_ and _prævidens_, prediction. (vi. 105.)
DIVITIÆ; OPES; GAZÆ; LOCUPLES; OPULENTUS; COPIOSUS. 1. +Divitiæ+ and +gazæ+ denote riches quite generally, as possessions and the means of satisfying one's wishes of any sort, whereas +opes+, as the means of attaining higher ends, of aggrandizing one's self, and of acquiring and maintaining influence. +Divitiæ+ (from #deuein#) denotes the riches of a private person, like #ploutos#; +opes+ (opulentus, #polus#), the instrument of the statesman, or of the ambitious in political life; +gazæ+, the treasure of a king or prince, like #thêsauroi#. 2. +Dives+ means rich in opp. to poor, Quintil. v. 10, 26, like #plousios#; +locuples+ (loculos #plêthôn#), well-off, in opp. to _egens_, _egenus_, Cic. Planc. 35. Ros. Com. 8, like #aphneios#; +opulentus+ and +copiosus+, opulent, in opp. to _inops_, Cic. Parad. 6. Tac. H. iii. 6, like #euporos#. (v. 81.)
DIVORTIUM, see _Repudium_.
DIVUS, see _Numen_.
DOCTOR; PRÆCEPTOR; MAGISTER. +Doctor+ means the teacher, as far as he imparts theory, with reference to the student, in opp. to the mere hearer; +præceptor+, as far as he leads to practice, in reference to the pupil, in opp. to the mere scholar; +magister+, in a general sense, with reference to his superiority and ascendency in knowledge, in opp. to the laity. Cic. Orat. iii. 15. Vetus illa doctrina eadem videtur et recte faciendi et bene dicendi magistra, neque disjuncti _doctores_, sed iidem erant vivendi _præceptores_ atque dicendi. And. Mur. 31. (vi. 105).
DOCTRINA; ERUDITIO. +Doctrina+ denotes learning as a particular species of intellectual cultivation, whereas +eruditio+ the learned result, as the crown of intellectual cultivation. +Doctrina+ evinces a superiority in particular branches of knowledge, and stands as a co-ordinate notion with +exercitatio+, which is distinguished from it by involving a superiority in the ready use of learning, and can therefore, even as a mere theory, be of more evident service in practice than that which is indirectly important; +eruditio+ stands in still closer relation to practice, and involves the co-operation of the different branches of knowledge and different studies to the ennobling of the human race; it denotes genuine zeal for the welfare of mankind in an intellectual, as _humanitas_ does in a moral, point of view. (v. 268.)
DOCTRINÆ, see _Literæ_.
DOLOR; TRISTITIA; MOESTITIA; LUCTUS. 1. +Dolor+ (from #thlan#, #athlios#?) denotes an inward feeling of grief, opp. to _gaudium_, Cic. Phil. xiii. 20. Suet. Cæs. 22, like #algos#; whereas +tristitia+, +moeror+, +luctus+, denote an utterance or external manifestation of this inward feeling. +Tristitia+ and +moestitia+ are the natural and involuntary manifestation of it in the gestures of the body and in the countenance; +luctus+ (#aluktos#), its artificial manifestation, designedly, and through the conventional signs of mourning, as cutting off the hair, mourning clothes, etc., at an appointed time, like #penthos#. +Moeror+ also serves for a _heightened_ expression of _dolor_, and +luctus+ of _moeror_ and _tristitia_, as far as the manifestation _is added_ to distinguish the feeling from it. Cic. Att. xii. 28. _Mærorem_ minui; _dolorem_ nec potui, nec si possem vellem. Phil. xi. 1. Magno in _dolore_ sum, vel in _moerore_ potius, quem ex miserabili morte C. Trebonii accepimus. Plin. Ep. v. 9. Illud non _triste_ solum, verum etiam _luctuosum_, quod Julius avitus decessit. Tac. Agr. 43. Finis vitæ ejus nobis _luctuosus_, amicis _tristis_; for relations only put on mourning. Tac. Ann. ii. 82. Quanquam nec insignibus lugentium abstinebant, altius animis _moerebant_. Cic. Sext. 29, 39. _Luctum_ nos hausimus majorem _dolorem_ ille animi non minorem. 2. +Tristitia+ (from #taraktos#?) denotes the expression of grief in a bad sense, as gloom, fretfulness, and ill-humor, opp. to _hilaratus_, Cic. Att. xii. 40. Fin. v. 30. Cæcil. ap. Gell. xv. 9. Quintil. xi. 3, 67, 72, 79, 151; whereas +moestitia+ (from #murô#) denotes grief, as deserving of commiseration, as affliction, when a most just grief gives a tone of sadness, in opp. to _lætus_, Sall. Cat. f. Tac. Ann. i. 28. +Tristitia+ is more an affair of reflection; +moestitia+, of feeling. The _tristis_, like the _truculentus_, is known by his forbidding look, his wrinkled forehead, the contraction of his eyebrows; the _moestus_, like the _afflictus_, by his lack-lustre eyes and dejected look. Tac. Hist. i. 82. Rarus per vias populus _moesta_ plebs; dejecti in terram militum vultus, ac plus _tristitæ_ quam poenitentiæ. Cic. Mur. 24, 49. _Tristem_ ipsum, _moestos_ amicos: and Orat. 22, 74. (iii. 234.)
DOLOR, see _Cura_.
DOMUS, see _Ædificium_.

Magnitudinem mali _perferre_ visu non _toleravit_. 3. +Tolerare+ (from #tlênai#) means to keep up under a burden, and not sink down; but +sustinere+ means to keep up the burden, and not let it sink. 4. +Pati+ denotes an intellectual permission, no opposition being made, like to let happen; whereas +sinere+ (#aneinai#) denotes a material permission, not to hold any thing fast nor otherwise hinder, to leave free. +Pati+ has, in construction, the action itself for its object, and governs an infinitive; +sinere+, the person acting, and is in construction with _ut_. (iv. 259.) 5. +Sustinere+ means to hold up, in a general sense, whereas +sustentare+, to hold up with trouble and difficulty. Curt. viii. 4, 15. Forte Macedo gregarius miles seque et arma _sustentans_ tandem in castra venit; compare with v. 1, 11. Tandem Laconum acies languescere, lubrica arma sudore vix _sustinens_. Also, Liv. xxiii. 45. Senec. Prov. 4. a. f. (iii. 293.)

FIDERE; CONFIDERE; FIDEM HABERE; CREDERE; COMMITTERE; PERMITTERE. 1. +Fidere+ (#peithein#) means to trust; +confidere+, to trust firmly, both with reference to strength and assistance; whereas +fidem habere+, to give credit, and +credere+, to place belief, namely, with reference to the good intentions of another. Liv. ii. 45. Consules magis non _confidere_ quam non _credere_ suis militibus; the former with reference to their valor, the latter with reference to their fidelity. 2. +Fidere+, etc., denote trust as a feeling; +committere+, +permittere+, as an action; the _committens_ acts in good trust in the power and will of another, whereby he imposes upon him a moral responsibility; to intrust; the _permittens_ acts to get rid of the business himself, whereby he imposes at most only a political or legal responsibility, as to leave (or, give up) to. Cic. Font. 14. Ita ut _commissus_ sit fidei, _permissus_ potestati. Verr. i. 32. v. 14. (v. 259.)
FIDES; FIDELITAS; FIDUCIA; CONFIDENTIA; AUDACIA; AUDENTIA. 1. +Fides+ and +fidelitas+ mean the fidelity which a man himself observes towards others; +fides+, in a more general sense, like #pistis#, the keeping of one's word and assurance from conscientiousness, together with the reliance of others upon us as springing from this quality, the credit we possess; +fidelitas+ denotes, in a more special sense, like #pistotês#, the faithful adherence to persons to whom we have once devoted ourselves; whereas +fiducia+ and +confidentia+ denote the trust we place in others; +fiducia+, the laudable trust in things, in which we actually can trust, which is allied to the courage of trusting in ourselves, in opp. to _timor_; Cic. Div. ii. 31. Plin. Ep. v. 17, like #tharsos#; but +confidentia+ denotes a blamable blind trust, particularly in one's own strength, in opp. to foresight and discretion, and which converts spirit into presumption, like #thrasos#. 5. +Fiducia+ and +confidentia+ have their foundation in trusting to the prosperous issue of anything; +audacia+ and +audentia+, in the contempt of danger; +audacia+ sometimes means a laudable boldness, as a word of higher import than _fiducia_; sometimes a blamable boldness, as a civil term for _temeritas_, like #tolma#; but +audentia+ is always a laudable spirit of enterprise. Juven. xiii. 108. Quum magna malæ superest _audacia_ causæ, creditur a multis _fiducia_. Sen. Ep. 87. Quæ bona sunt, _fiduciam_ faciunt, divitiæ _audaciam_. (v. 256.)
FIDES, see _Religio_.
FIDES, see _Chorda_.
FIDUCIA, see _Fides_.
FIDUS; FIDELIS; INFIDUS; INFIDELIS; PERFIDUS; PERFIDIOSUS. 1. +Fidus+ denotes a natural quality, like trustworthy, with relative praise; whereas +fidelis+ denotes a moral characteristic, as faithful, with absolute praise. Liv. xxii. 22. Eo vinculo Hispaniam vir unus solerti magis quam _fideli_ consilio exsolvit. Abellex erat Sagunti, nobilis Hispanus, _fidus_ ante Poenis. 2. +Infidus+ means unworthy of trust; +infidelis+, unfaithful; +perfidus+, treacherous, in particular actions; +perfidiosus+, full of treachery, with reference to the whole character. (v. 255.)
FIGURA; FORMA; SPECIES. +Figura+ (from fingere, #phengein#,) denotes shape altogether indifferently, in its mathematical relation, as far as it possesses a definite outline, like #schêma#; whereas +forma+ (#phorimos#, #phorêma#,) denotes it in an _æsthetical_ relation, as far as it is a visible stamp and copy of an interior substance, to which it corresponds, like #morphê#; lastly, +species+, in its physical relation, as far as it stands opposed to the inner invisible substance, which it covers as a mere outside, like #eidos#. Hence +figurare+ means to shape, that is, to give a definite outline to a formless mass; whereas +formare+ means to form, that is, to give the right shape to an unwrought mass; and lastly, +speciem addere+ means to bedeck any thing, in the old sense of the word, that is, to give to a mass already formed an exterior that shall attract the eye. According to this explanation +figura+ refers exclusively to the outline or lineaments, whilst +forma+, or at least +species+, involves color, size, and the like. (iii. 25.)
FIMUS, see _Lutum_.
FINDERE; SCINDERE. +Findere+ means to separate a body according to its natural joints, consequently to divide it, as it were, into its component parts, to cleave; but +scindere+ (#skedasai#) to divide it by force, without regard to its joints, and so separate it into fragments, to chop or tear to pieces. Hence +findere lignum+ means to cleave a log of wood, with the assistance of nature herself, lengthways; +scindere+, to chop it by mere force breadthways. The _findens æquor nave_ considers the sea as a conflux of its component waters; the _scindens_, merely as a whole. (iv. 154.)
FINIRE; TERMINARE; CONSUMMARE; ABSOLVERE; PERFICERE. +Finire+ and +terminare+ denote the mere ending of anything, without regard to how far the object of the undertaking is advanced; +finire+ (#phthinein#?) to end, in opp. to _incipere_, Cic. Orat. iii. 59; but +terminare+, to make an end, in opp. to _continuare_; whereas +consummare+, +absolvere+, and +perficere+ denote the completion of a work; +consummare+, as the most general term in opp. to doing a thing by halves; +absolvere+ refers to a duty fulfilled, and a difficult work which is now done, and leaves the workman free, in opp. to _inchoare_; +perficere+ refers to an end attained, and a self-chosen task, which is now done, and may be called complete, in opp. to _conari_. Cic. Orat. 29, 30. Verr. i. 27. +Absolutus+ also has an extensive signification, and refers to the completeness of the work, like #entelês#; +perfectus+, an intensive signification, and refers to the excellence of the work, like #teleios#. (iv. 366.)
FINIS; TERMINUS; LIMES. +Finis+ (from #phthinô#) denotes a boundary, as a mathematical line, like #telos#; +terminus+ and +limes+, a mark, as the material sign of a boundary; +terminus+ (#teiromenos#, #terma#,) a stone set up, as the sign of a bounding point, like #terma#; +limes+, a ridge, as the sign of a bounding line, like #horos#. Cic. Læl. 16. Constituendi sunt qui sint in amicitia _fines_ et quasi _termini_ diligendi. Hor. Carm. ii. 18, 24. Revellis agri _terminos_ et ultra _limites_ clientium salis avarus. (iv. 359.)

FLUERE; MANARE; LIQUERE. +Fluere+ (#phluô#) denotes flowing, with reference to the motion of the fluid; +manare+ (from #manos#, or _madere_,) with reference to the imparting of the fluid; and +liquere+, with reference to the nature of the fluid. The cause of the _fluendi_ is, that the fluid has no dam, and according to the law of gravity flows on; whereas the cause of the _manandi_ is the over-fulness of the spring; lastly, +liquere+, to be fluid, is the negative state of _fluere_ and _manare_. Hence +fluere+, with its synonyme +labi+, is more opposed to _hærere_ and _stare_; and moreover +labari+, with its synonyme +effundi+, more opposed to _contineri_, _claudi_; lastly, +liquere+, with its synonyme +dissolvi+, more opposed to _concrevisse_, _rigere_. Gell. xvii. 11. Plato potum dixit _defluere_ ad pulmonem, eoque satis humectato, demanare per eum, quia sit rimosior, et _confluere_ inde in vesicam. (ii. 1.)
FLUVIUS; FLUMEN; AMNIS. +Fluvius+, +flumen+, (from #phluô#) denote, like #rhoos#, #rheuma#, an ordinary stream, in opp. to a pond and lake; whereas +amnis+ (#amenas#, _manare_,) like #potamos#, a great and mighty river, in opp. to the sea. Cic. Div. i. 50. and Divin. i. 35, 78. Ut _flumina_ in contrarias partes fluxerint, atque in _amnes_ mare influxerit. Tac. Ann. xv. 58. Senec. N. Q. iii. 19. Habet ergo non tantum venas aquarum terra, ex quibus corrivatis _flumina_ effici possunt, sed et _amnes_ magnitudinis vastæ. Then: Hanc magnis _amnibus_ æternam esse materiam, cujus non tangantur extrema sicut _fluminum_ et fontium. Tac. Hist. v. 23. Quo Mosæ _fluminis_ os _amnem_ Rhenum oceano affundit. Curt. ix. 4, 5. (ii. 7.)
FOECUNDUS; FERTILIS; FERAX; UBER; FRUGIFER; FRUCTUOSUS. 1. +Foecundus+ (from #phuô#, foetus,) denotes the fruitfulness of a living and breeding being, in opp. to _effatus_, like #eutokos#; whereas +fertilis+ and +ferax+ (from (#pherô#) the fruitfulness of inanimate and productive nature, and of the elements, opposed to _sterilis_, like #euphoros#. Tac. Ann. xii. 63. Byzantium _fertili_ solo _foecundoque_ mari, quia vis piscium hos ad portus adfertur. Germ. 5. Terra satis _ferax, frugiferarum_ arborum impatiens, pecorum _foecunda_, sed plerumque improcera. Mela. i. 9, 1. Terra mire _fertilis_ et animalium _perfoecunda_ genetrix. And ii. 7. 2. +Fertilis+ denotes the actual fruitfulness which has been produced by cultivation; +ferax+, the mere capability which arises from the nature of the soil. Cicero uses _fertilis_ in a proper, _ferax_, in a figurative sense. 3. +Fertilis+ and +ferax+ denote fruitfulness under the image of creative and productive power, as of the father and mother; +uber+, under the image of fostering and sustaining, as of the nurse, like #euthênês#; +frugifer+, under the image of a corn-field; +fructuosus+, under that of a tree rich in fruit, like #enkarpos#. (iv. 831.)
FOEDUS; SOCIETAS. +Foedus+ (#pepoithos#) is an engagement for mutual security, on the ground of a sacred contract; whereas +societas+, an engagement to some undertaking in common on the ground of a mere agreement. Liv. xxiv. 6. Hieronymus legatos Carthaginem mittit ad _foedus_ ex _societate_ faciendum. Sall. Jug. 14. Cic. Phil. ii. 35. Neque ullam _societatem . . . . foedere_ ullo confirmari posse credidi. (vi. 132.)
FOEDUS, see _Tæter_. [[redirects to _Teter_]]
FOEMINA, see _Femina_.
FOENUS; USURA. +Foenus+ (from #phuô#, foetus,) denotes interest as the produce of capital, like #tokos#; +usura+ denotes what is paid by the debtor for the use of capital, like #danos#. (vi. 133.)
FOETUS; FOEDUS, see _Prægnans_.
FORES, see _Ostium_.
FORMA, see _Figura_.
FORMARE, see _Erudire_.
FORMIDO, see _Vereri_.
FORMOSUS; PULCHER; VENUSTUS. 1. +Formosus+ means beauty, as far as it excites pleasure and delight by fineness of form; +pulchrum+, as far as it excites admiration, is imposing, and satisfies the taste by its perfectness; +venustum+, as far as by its charms it excites desire, and captivates. +Formositas+ works on the natural sense of beauty; +pulchritudo+, on the cultivated taste; +venustas+, on the more refined sensuality. Suet. Ner. 51. Fuit vultu _pulchro_ magis quam _venusto_; that is, it had perfect and regular beauty rather than pleasing features, and possessed a cold, heartless sort of beauty, by which no one felt attracted. Comp. Catull. lxxxvi. Hor. A. P. 99. Cic. Off. i. 36. 2. +Venustas+, loveliness, is of higher import than _gratia_, grace; the former transports, the latter only attracts. (iii. 29.)
FORS, see _Casus_.
FORTE, FORTUITO, FORTASSE, FORSITAN, see _Casu_.
FORTITUDO, see _Ferocia_.
FORTUNA, see _Casus_.

FRAGOR; STREPITUS; CREPITUS; SONITUS. +Fragor+ (#spharagos#) is a hollow, discordant sound, as crashing, like #doupos#; +strepitus+ (#threô#, #thorubê#?) a loud noisy sound, as roaring, bawling, shrieking, like #ktupos#; +crepitus+ (from #krembalon#?) a single sound, or the frequent repeating of the same sound, as clapping, like #krousis#, #krotos#; +sonitus+ (#enosis#, #Enuô#) a sound consisting of the vibrations of elastic bodies, as ringing, clinking, like #êchê#. Cic. Top. 12. Quæruntur pedum _crepitus, strepitus_ hominum. (v. 117.)
FRAGRARE, see _Olere_.
FRANGERE; RUMPERE; DIVELLERE. 1. +Frangere+ (#rhêxai#? or #spharaxai#) denotes to break to pieces what is hard; +rumpere+ (from #rhepô#, #rhopalon#,) to rend to pieces what is flexible. Cato ap. Prisc. Si quis membrum _rupit_, aut os _fregit_: for by breaking a limb, not the invisible bones, but the visible flesh, is rent asunder. When, however, +rumpere+ is applied to any thing hard, it involves the notion of exertion employed, and of danger; the _frangens_ breaks to pieces what is entire; the _rumpens_ rends to pieces what is obstructive. 2. +Disrumpere+ and +diffringere+ mean to rend to pieces, and break to pieces, what was originally entire; whereas +divellere+ (#dielkein#) to tear asunder what was at first joined together. (v. 321.)
FRAUDARE, see _Fallere_.
FRENUM; HABENA; OREÆ. 1. +Frenum+ (from #phraxai#?) is the bridle with which the rider breaks the wild horse, like #chalinos#; whereas +habena+ (from hebes, #chabos#, #kampsai#,) the rein with which he turns the obedient horse, like #hênion#. Hor. Ep. i. 15, 13. Læva stomachosus _habena_ dicet eques; sed equi _frenato_ est auris in ore; that is, he minds not the reins, and must feel the bit. Cic. Orat. i. 53. Senatum servire populo, cui populus ipse moderandi et regendi sui potestatem quasi quasdam _habenas_ tradidisset: comp. with Tac. Dial. 38. Pompeius adstrinxit, imposuitque quasi _frenos_ eloquentiæ. 2. +Oreæ+, +aureæ+, now only to be found in +auriga+, were, perhaps, the generic term of _frenum_ and _habena_, like harness. (v. 137.)
FREQUENTER, see _Sæpe_.
FRETUS, see _Confisus_.
FRICARE, see _Lævis_.
FRIGERE; ALGERE; ALGIDUS; ALSUS; GELIDUS; FRIGUS; GELU; GLACIES. +Frigere+ (#phrixai#) means to be cold, in opp. to _calere_, Cic. Fam. viii. 8. Auct. Her. iv. 15. Sen. Ir. ii. 18; whereas +algere+ (#algein#) means to feel cold, in opp. to _æstuare_. Cic. Tusc. ii. 14, 34. Sen. Ir. iii. 12. Plin. H. N. xvii. 26. 2. +Algidus+ denotes cold, as an unpleasant chill; +alsus+, as a refreshing coolness. 3. +Frigidus+ denotes a moderate degree of coldness, in opp. to _calidus_; whereas +gelidus+ means on the point of freezing, in opp. to _fervidus_. 4. +Frigus+ denotes, objectively, cold in itself, which attacks a man, and leaves him; whereas +frigedo+ denotes cold, subjectively, as the state of a man attacked by cold, which begins and ends; it is an antiquated word which has become obsolete by the general use of _frigus_. 5. +Gelu+, +gelus+, +gelum+, (#gloia#) denote, like #kruos#, cold that produces ice; +gelicidium+, like #krumos#, a single attack of frost, a frosty night; and +glacies+, like #krustallos#, its effect, ice. (iii. 89.)

FRUI, FRUNISCI, see _Uti_.
FRUSTRA; NEQUIDQUAM; INCASSUM; IRRITUS. 1. +Frustra+ (from #psuthos#) means in vain, with reference to the subject, whose expectation and calculations have been disappointed; whereas +nequidquam+ (that is, in nequidquam, in nihil), to no purpose, refers to the nullity in which the thing has ended. 2. Hence +frustra+, used adjectively, refers to the person; whereas +irritus+, the actual adjective, refers to the thing. 3. +Frustra+ and +nequidquam+ denote merely a failure, without imputing a fault, like #matên#; whereas +incassum+ involves the accessory notion of a want of consideration, by which the failure might have been calculated upon, and foreseen, as in attempting any thing manifestly or proverbially impossible, #eis kenon#. (iii. 100.)
FRUSTRARI, see _Fallere_.

FULGUR; FULGURATIO; FULMEN. +Fulgur+, +fulgetrum+, and +fulguratio+, denote the shining of the lightning in the horizon, like #astrapê#; +fulgur+, as momentary and single flashes; +fulguratio+, as continued and repeated; whereas +fulmen+ means the lightning that strikes the earth, like #keraunos#. Liv. xl. 59. _Fulguribus_ præstringentibus aciem oculorum, sed _fulmina_ etiam sic undique micabant, ut petit viderentur corpora. Curt. viii. 4, 3. Ovid, Met. iii. 300. Cic. Divin. ii. 19. Plin. H. N. ii. 43. Si in nube erumpat ardens, _fulmina_; si longiore tractu nitatur _fulgetra_; his findi nubem, illis perrumpi. Sen. Q. N. i. 1. (iii. 318.)
FUNALE, see _Fax_.

FUNUS; EXSEQUIÆ; POMPA. +Funus+ (from #phoinos#, #pephnein#,) denotes the mere carrying out of the corpse, like #ekphora#; whereas +exsequiæ+ and +pompa+ (#pompê#) denote the solemn procession; +exsequiæ+, of the living, as relations and friends; +pompa+, of the inanimate, as the images of ancestors, and other pageants. Cic. Quint. 15. _Funus_, quo amici conveniunt ad _exsequias_ cohonestandas. And Plin. H. N. x. 43. Flor. iii. 20. Nep. Att. 22. Elatus est in lecticula, sine ulla _funeris pompa_, comitantibus omnibus bonis, maxima vulgi frequentia. And Cic. Mil. 13. Tac. Ann. iii. 5. (iv. 408.)

(iii. 265.)

GALEA, see _Cassis_.
GANEUM, see _Deversorium_.
GANNIRE, see _Latrare_.
GARRIRE; FABULARI; BLATIRE; BLATERARE; LOQUAX; VERBOSUS. 1. +Garrire+ (#gêruô#) denotes talking, with reference to excessive fondness for speaking; +fabulari+, to the nullity; +blatire+, and the intensive +blaterare+, to the foolishness of what is said. 2. The _garrulus_ is tiresome from the quality, the _loquax_ from the quantity, of what he says. For +garrulitas+ expresses childish or idle talkativeness, from the mere pleasure of talking and hearing one's self talk, without regard to the value and substance of what is said, and has its origin in a degeneracy of youthful vivacity, and even in the abuse of superior talents, like #lalia#; whereas +loquacitas+ (#lakazein#) expresses a quaint talkativeness, from inability to stop short, which has its origin in the diminished energy of old age, like #adoleschia#. The _garrulus_, in his efforts to please and entertain by light conversation, is silly and imbecile; the _loquax_, in his efforts to instruct, and make himself clearly understood, is often tedious. 3. +Garrulus+ and +loquax+ denote qualities of persons, speakers; +verbosus+, of things, speeches, and writings. (iii. 81.)
GAUDERE; LÆTARI; HILARIS; ALACER; GESTIRE; EXSULTARE. 1. +Gaudere+ (from #gauros#) denotes joy as an inward state of mind, in opp. to _dolor_, like #hêdesthai#; whereas +lætari+ and +hilarem esse+, the utterance of joy. Tac. Hist. ii. 29. Ut valens processit, _gaudium_, miseratio, favor; versi in _lætitiam_ . . . . laudantes gratantesque. 2. The _lætus_ (from #lilaiomoi#) shows his joy in a calm cheerfulness, which attests perfect satisfaction with the present, in opp. to _moestus_, Tac. Ann. xv. 23; the _hilaris_ (#hilaros#) in awakened mirth, disposing to jest and laughter, in opp. to _tristis_; the _alacer_ (#alkê#) in energetic vivacity, evincing spirit and activity, in opp. to _territus_. Cic. Coel. 28. The _gaudens_, the _lætus_, the _hilaris_, derive joy from a piece of good fortune; the _alacer_ at the same time from employment and action. Cic. Divin. i. 33, 73. Equum _alacrem lætus_ adspexit. +Lætitia+ shows itself chiefly in an unwrinkled forehead, and a mouth curled for smiling; +hilaritas+, in eyes quickly moving, shining, and radiant with joy; +alacritas+, in eyes that roll, sparkle, and announce spirit. Sen. Ep. 116. Quantam serenitatem _lætitia_ dat. Tac. Agr. 39. Fronte _lætus_, pectore anxius. Cic. Pis. 5. Te _hilarioribus_ oculis quam solitus es intuente. 3. +Gaudere+ and +lætari+ denote a moderate; +exsultare+ and +gestire+, and perhaps the antiquated word +vitulari+, a passionate, uncontrolled joy, as to exult and triumph; the _gestiens_ (#gêthein#) discovers this by an involuntary elevation of the whole being, sparkling eyes, inability to keep quiet, etc.; the _exsultans_, by a voluntary, full resignation of himself to joy, which displays itself, if not by skipping and jumping, at least by an indiscreet outbreak of joy, bordering on extravagance. 4. +Jucundus+ denotes, like juvat me, a momentary excitement of joy; +lætus+, a more lasting state of joy; hence _lætus_ is used as the stronger expression, in Plin. Ep. v. 12. Quam mihi a quocunque excoli _jucundum_, a te vero _lætissimum_ est. (iii. 242.)

GENS; NATIO; POPULUS; CIVITAS. 1. +Gens+ and +natio+ denote a people, in a physical sense, in the description of nations, as a society originating in common descent and relationship, without any apparent reference to civilization; whereas +populus+ and +civitas+ denote a people in a political sense, as a society formed by civilization and compact. Sall. Cat. 10, 1. _Nationes_ feræ et _populi_ ingentes subacti. Cic. Rep. i. 25. 2. +Gens+ (#genetê#) includes all people of the same descent, like #phulon#; +natio+ (from #gnêsios#) a single colony of the same, like #ethnos#. Vell. P. ii. 98. Omnibus ejus _gentis nationibus_ in arma accensis. Tac. G. 2, 38. But as _gens_, in this physical sense, as the complex term for several colonies, has a more comprehensive meaning than _natio_, so has it, at the same time, in its political accessory meaning, as a clan, #genos#, or as the complex term for several families, a narrower meaning than _populus_; hence sometimes _populus_ forms, as a civilized _natio_, a part of the natural _gens_. Liv. iv. 49. Bolanis suæ _gentis populo_, and Virg. A. x. 202; sometimes +gens+, as a political society, forms a part of _populus_: Justin. vii. 1. Adunatis _gentibus_ variorum _populorum_. 3. +Civitas+ (from #keiô#) denotes the citizens of a town collectively, #polis#, merely with regard to their interior connection, as including the inhabitants who are in the enjoyment of the full rights of citizenship, and the lawful possessors of the land; +populus+ (redupl. of #polis#) means the people, #dêmos#, more commonly in reference to their social relations, interior and exterior, and with the included notion of belonging to the state. A people can determine upon war as a _civitas_; but can carry it on only as a _populus_. A _civitas_ is necessarily stationary; but a _populus_ may consist of _Nomades_, or wanderers from one pasture to another.

(v. 188.) 2. +Pugio+ (from pungere) is a dagger, as a fair and openly used soldier's weapon, on a level with the sword; whereas +sica+ (from secare) is the unfair and secret weapon of the bandit, on a level with poison. (vi. 291.)

Or, the _idoneus_ is fitted by his qualifications, and, through outward circumstances, for any particular destination, like the #epitêdeios#; the aptus (from potis, potens), by his worth and adequacy, like #hikanos#.

A lazy slave is called _inors_; a person of rank, that passes his time in doing nothing, is _ignavus_. 2. +Segnitia+, +desidia+, +socordia+, and +pigritia+, are the faults of a too easy temperament. +Segnitia+ (from sequi, #oknos#,) wants rousing, or compulsion, and must be conquered, before it resigns its ease, in opp. to _promptus_. Tac. Agr. 21. +Desidia+ (from sedere) lays its hands on its lap, and expects that things will happen of themselves; +socordia+ is susceptible of no lively interest, and neglects its duties from want of thought, like phlegm; +pigritia+ has an antipathy to all motion, and always feels best in a state of absolute bodily rest, like slothfulness. (iv. 212.)
IGNAVIA, see _Vereri_.
IGNOMINIA; INFAMIA; DEDECUS; PROBRUM; OPPROBRIUM. 1. +Ignominia+ deprives one of political honor, which is independent of the reports circulated concerning a man, and is the consequence of an official denunciation, the justice of which is supposed; that of the censor, for example, like #atimia#; whereas +infamia+ deprives one of moral honor, of one's good name, has a reference to public scorn, and is the consequence of shameless and dishonorable conduct, like #dusphêmia#. 2. +Ignominia+ and +infamia+ are abstract, and denote subjective states; +dedecus+ and +probrum+ are concrete, and denote, objectively, disgrace itself; +dedecus+ is a deviation from the conduct that becomes a man of honor, from whom noble actions are expected; +probrum+ is a stain on the morality of a man, from whom, at least, irreproachable conduct is expected. +Dedecus+ is incurred generally in our public relations, by abjectness of spirit, etc.; +probrum+, in our private relations, by licentiousness, etc. 3. +Probrum+ (from #propherô# is reproach, as far as it can justly be made; +opprobrium+, reproach, as far as it actually is made. In _probrum_ the disgrace itself is more considered; in _opprobrium_, the open proclamation of it.

The friend _ignoscit_ a person of his own rank; one who is of higher rank and greater power _veniam dat_. Cic. Man. 3. Illis imperatoribus laus est tribuenda quod egerunt; _venia danda_ quod reliquerunt; comp. with Att. xvi. 16. _Ignosce_ mihi quod eadem de re sæpius scribam. (v. 170.)

IMAGO; SIMULACRUM; STATUA; SIGNUM. 1. +Imago+ and +simulacrum+ denote, as the most general terms, any representation, whether a work of statuary or of painting; +imago+ (#mêchanê#) is allied to the original, as to a pattern, by a striking likeness of form, like #eikôn#; +simulacrum+ is opposed to the original, as a real being, by a deceptive imitation of its form, like #eidôlon#; whereas +statua+, +signum+, and +effigies+, are merely plastic works; +tabula+ and +pictura+, merely pictures. 2. +Simulacrum+ and +statua+ denote the copying of the whole figure, consequently, in the plastic art, standing figures; +effigies+ and +imago+, principally the copying of the characteristic parts, namely, the features; +effigies+, in statuary, as busts; +imago+, in painting, as half-length portraits. Tac. Ann. i. 74. Alia in _statua_ amputato capite Augusti _effigiem_ Tiberii inditam. Hist. ii. 3. _Simulacrum_ deæ _effigie_ humana. Cic. Tusc. iii. 2, 3.

IMBER, see _Pluvia_.
IMITATIO; ÆMULATIO; CERTATIO; RIVALITAS; SIMULATIO. 1. +Imitari+ means merely the effort to produce something like some other thing, without any accessory moral notion; +æmulari+ (from #aisimos#) means, at the same time, to do something which shall gain equal or superior consideration, honor, and approbation, when compared with the thing imitated. +Imitatio+ has in view only the thing itself, and is generally moderate and laudable; +æmulatio+ has in view chiefly the person, who is already in possession of the quality worthy of imitation, and always seems more or less a passion, which deserves praise or blame, according as it has its foundation in the lover of honor, or in immoderate ambition. Plin. Ep. vii. 30. Demosthenis orationem habui in manibus, non ut _æmularer_ (improbum enim ac pæne furiosum) at tamen _imitarer_ ac sequerer tantum. Comp. i. 2, 2. viii. 5, 13. Quintil. i. 2, 26. Cic. Tusc. iv. 8, 17. 2. The +æmulus+ is at first behind his opponent, and strives for a time only to come up to him, and be like him; whereas the +certator+ and +concertator+ are already on a par with their opponent, and strive to outdo him, and conquer him. 3. +Æmulatio+ contends for superiority in any art; +rivalitas+, only for preference in estimation. Cic. Tusc. iv. 26, 56. Illa vitiosa _æmulatione_, quæ _rivalitati_ similis est, quid habet utilitatis? 4. +Imitatio+ is an effort to become something which a man at present is not, but fain would be, and really can become; whereas +simulatio+, an effort to pass for something which a man properly and naturally is not, nor ever can be. +Imitatio+ is the means of attaining to an actual or presumptive ideal; whereas +simulatio+ remains for ever a mere counterfeit. (iii. 64.)

The _imum_ is the lowest extremity of a part; then the _infimum_, the lowest part, with reference to the other parts. Cic. Rosc. Com. 7. Ab _imis_ unguibus usque ad summum verticem: compare with Divin. i. 33. Ut ab _infima_ ara subito anguis emergeret; and with N. D. ii. 20. Luna _infima_ est quinque errantium.

Ann. vi. 34. Jason post avectam Medeam genitosque ex ea liberos _inanem_ mox regiam Æetæ _vacuosque_ Colchos repetivit; that is, the palace deserted and desolate, and the people without a governor.

Plin. H. N. x. 63. Tac. Dial. 33. Suet. Claud. 3. Cic. Fr. ap. Non. _Perge_, quæso, nec enim imperite exorsus es. 2. +Coepi+ has nearly the same words in opp. to it as _incipere_ has; Sen. Cons. Polyb. 20. Quicquid _coepit_, et desinit. Cic. Rab. Post. 2. Ovid, Ep. ix. 23; +coepi+ refers more to the action which is begun; +incepi+, more to the beginning which has been made. +Coepi+ is a sort of auxiliary verb; +incepi+ is emphatic; hence +coepi+ has an infinitive, +incipere+ a substantive, for its object.

INIRE; INTRARE; INTROIRE; INGREDI. 1. +Inire+ denotes almost always only a figurative entering, as to engage in any thing, for example, _inire pugnam_, _numerum_, etc.; whereas +intrare+, +introire+, +ingredi+, a literal entering; +intrare+ is usually transitive, as to enter, and has an emphasis on the verbal part of the word; whereas +introire+ is intransitive, as to step in, and has an emphasis on the adverbial part of the word. In the phrase _intrare curiam_ one thinks more of the mere threshold, which is to be stepped over; in the phrase _introire_ one thinks more of the four walls by which one is to be enclosed. 2. +Intrare+ and +introire+ suppose a space distinctly limited by walls, boundaries, marks; whereas +ingredi+ supposes, generally, any limited space, for example, _viam_, _pontem_, etc. (iv. 521.)
INITIUM; PRINCIPIUM; PRIMORDIUM. 1. +Initium+ denotes the beginning in an abstract sense, as the mere point from which a thing begins, in opp. to _exitus_. Cic. Rosc. Com. 13, 39. Tusc. i. 38. Brut. 34. Sen. Ep. 9. N. Q. iii. 29; whereas +principium+ denotes the beginning as a concrete notion, as that part of the whole which stands before the other parts in things, and goes before them in actions, in opp. to _extremum_. Cic. Cleunt. 4. Orat. 61, 204. Cæc. 15, 44. In _initium_ the beginning is made only with reference to time; in _principium_ the foundation also is laid with reference to space. The _initium_ is pushed out of the way by that which follows; the _principium_ serves as a basis for that which follows. The _initia philosophiæ_ are the rudiments over which the scholar goes, and which are superseded by further studies; the _principia_ are the fundamental principles, to which he must always recur. +Initio+ usually means "at the beginning, but differently (or, not at all) afterwards;" whereas +principio+ means from the very beginning, and so onwards. 2. +Primordium+ is a more solemn and comprehensive term than _principium_, and supposes a whole of great extent, the beginning of which is so far removed that one can distinguish a merely apparent beginning from the actual and primeval source and origin. (iii. 163.)

INTERCAPEDO; INTERRUPTIO; INTERPELLATIO; INTERLOCUTIO. +Intercapedo+ and +interruptio+ are any interruption of another person's business; +intercapedo+, a quiet, often even a benevolent interruption; +interruptio+, a violent and turbulent interruption; whereas +interpellatio+ and +interlocutio+ are only the interruption of a speech by speaking between; the _interpellator_ will nearly prevent the speaker from going on; the _interlocutor_ will make himself also heard in the midst of another's speech.

INTEREA; INTERIM. +Interea+ refers to a business of some duration, which takes place in a space of time, as in the mean time; +interim+, to a momentary business, as in the midst of this. They have the same relation to each other, as a point of time to a space of time. Cic. Quint. 6. Hæc dum Romæ geruntur . . . Quintius _interea_ de agro detruditur; that is, gradually; comp. with Fam. x. 12. _Interim_ ad me venit Manutius noster. Tac. Ann. xi. 32. Non rumor _interea_, sed undique nuntii incedunt . . . Atque _interim_ Ostiensem viam intrat. (iv. 271.)

Cic. Tusc. v. 20. Dionysius alterum jussit _interfici_, quia viam demonstravisset _interimendi_ sui. Curt. ix. 7, 8. Boxum protinus placuit _interfici_; Biconem etiam per cruciatus _necari_. 2. +Occidere+, +jugulare+, +trucidare+, +obtruncare+, +percutere+, denote a sanguinary death-blow; +occidere+ means by cutting down, especially the business of the soldier in honorable open battle; +jugulare+, by cutting the throat or neck, or rather by a skilfully-directed thrust into the collar-bone, especially the business of the bandit, after the pattern of the gladiator, like #sphaxai#; +obtruncare+ means to butcher, massacre, and cut to pieces, after the manner of the awkward murderer; +trucidare+, to slaughter as one would a steer, after the manner of the blood-thirsty miscreant, who, without meeting with resistance, plays the hero on the defenceless; +percutere+, to execute, as a mere mechanical act, after the manner of the headsman, or other executioner of a sentence of condemnation, or, at least, of a death-warrant. Senec. Contr. iii. 21. Nec dominum _occidit_, nec domino venenum dedit. Hor. Ep. i. 2. Ut _jugulent_ hominem, surgunt de nocte latrones. Sallust. Fr. Cæteri vice pecorum _obtruncantur_; so that you may see a mangled mass of limbs, as in the heap of slain in a battle. Tac. Hist. . . . Juberet _interfici_; offerre se corpora iræ; _trucidaret_. Cic. Cat. iv. 6. and Rosc. Am. 34. Cujus consilio _occisus_ sit invenio; cujus manu _percussus_ sit non invenio. (iii. 181.)

INVENIRE; REPERIRE; DEPREHENDERE; NANCISCI; ADIPISCI; CONSEQUI; ASSEQUI. +Invenire+ denotes, as a general term, to find; +reperire+ and +deprehendere+ suppose a previous concealment of the thing found, and an intention, and pains employed on the part of the finder; but the _reperiens_ (from #peparein#) merely discovers what was concealed, and now lies before his eyes, like #aneurein#; the _deprehendens_, what desired to hide itself, or to escape, and now is in his power. Tac. Ann. i. 74. Perniciem aliis ac postremo sibi _invenere_: comp. with xiv. 3. Cædes quonam modo occultaretur nemo _reperit_. 2. +Invenire+, +reperire+, +deprehendere+, imply a concealed object, which is discovered; whereas +nancisci+, +adipisci+, +assequi+, and +consequi+, only a distant object, which is reached; the _nanciscens_ (from #enenkesthai#) arrives at his object with or without trouble, sometimes even against his wish, as to light upon; the _adipiscens_ (from potiri) only by exertion, as to achieve; the _consequens_ arrives at the object of his wish with or without assistance; the _assequens_, at the object of his endeavors, by means of exertion. Suet. Tib. 10. Titus ad primam statim mansionem febrim _nactus_: comp. with Dom. 15. Nero in _adipiscenda_ morte manu Epaphroditi adjutus est. Cic. Att. x. 12. _Nactus_ Curionem omnia me _consecutum_ putavi. Rosc. Com. 4. Ut neque nihil neque tantum quantum postulavimus _consequamur_. In Cic. Mil. 11. Nihil dico quid resp. _consecuta_ sit, nihil quod vos, nihil quod omnes boni; namely, by the death of Clodius, to which certainly nobody but Milo had contributed; _assecuta sit_ could not be substituted; and, on the other hand, in Sen. Brev. 17. Operose _assequuntur_ quæ volunt, anxii tenent quæ _assecuti_ sunt; the word _consequuntur_ would be too weak. Cic. Fam. i. 7, 10. Omnia quæ ne per populum quidem sine seditione _assequi_ arbitrabantur, per senatum _consecuti_ sunt. (iii. 142.)

The _invidus_ and _lividus_ grudge particular persons particular advantages, in particular cases; but the _malignus_ wishes well to nobody but himself. 4. +Invidia+, +livor+, +malignitas+, denote a feeling and state of mind, whereas +obtrectatio+ denotes an action, or manner of acting, proceeding from this feeling, inasmuch as it seeks to injure the envied person by dishonorable means, namely, detraction. _Obtrectatio_ can scarcely be conceived as existing without _invidia_, but _invidia_ may without _obtrectatio_, if the envious person is too cowardly to enter into conflict with the envied. 5. +Obtrectatio+ supposes a rival, and has its origin in jealousy; whereas +detrectatio+ only an enemy in general, and proceeds principally from antipathy. (iii. 65.)

Att. v. 14. _Iter_ conficiebamus æstuosa et pulverulenta _via_. 2. +Iter+ in a concrete sense, denotes a way which leads directly to a particular point, whether beaten and trodden, or not, like #keleuthos#; whereas +via+ (from the old word veha, way), a way, which, if not beaten, is the ordinary and usual way, like #hodos#. Cæs. B. G. vi. 27, means by _viarum atque itinerum duces_, the guides, who partly point out the frequented roads and paths, partly give information as to where they lead out. 3. +Via+ and +iter+ may be narrow or wide; whereas, +trames+, +callis+, and +semita+, denote only a narrow way or path; +trames+ (#trêma#) a by-road in a plain and town, by which one may arrive, partly in a shorter time, partly without being so much observed as in the open road, to a given point; +semita+ (from secare, segmen), a foot-path, which often runs by the side of the high-road, like #oimos#; +callis+ (from #keleuthos#) a path over a mountain or through a wood, which is scarcely passable except for cattle, like #atrapos#.

Justin. xxi. 4, 6. Hoc consilio præventus _iterum_ servitia concitat, statutaque _rursus_ cædium die, quum _denuo_ se proditum videret. 2. In the same manner +pugnam iterare+, Liv. vi. 32, means to join battle a second time; +pugnam repetere+, x. 36, to repeat the battle; +pugnam renovare+, Cæs. B. G. iii. 20, to renew the battle; and +pugnam integrare+, Liv. vii. 7, to begin the battle again quite from the beginning. Aut. Herenn. ii. 3, 47.
