NLD visijsvogels [onderfamilie]

ab-solvo, vi, ūtum, 3, v. a., to loosen from, to make loose, set free, detach, untie (usu. trop., the fig. being derived from fetters, qs. a vinculis solvere, like vinculis exsolvere, Plaut. Truc. 3, 4, 10).

Lit. (so very rare):

canem ante tempus,

Amm. 29, 3:

asinum,

App. M. 6, p. 184; cf.:

cum nodo cervicis absolutum,

id. ib. 9, p. 231:

valvas stabuli,

i. e. to open, id. ib. 1, p. 108 fin.:

absoluta lingua (ranarum) a gutture,

loosed, Plin. 11, 37, 65, § 172.

Trop.

To release from a long story, to let one off quickly: Paucis absolvit, ne moraret diutius, Pac. ap. Diom. p. 395 P. (Trag. Rel. p. 98 Rib.); so,

te absolvam brevi,

Plaut. Ep. 3, 4, 30.

To dismiss by paying, to pay off:

absolve hunc vomitum... quattuor quadraginta illi debentur minae,

Plaut. Most. 3, 1, 120; so Ter. Ad. 2, 4, 13 and 18.—Hence, in gen., to dismiss, to release:

jam hosce absolutos censeas,

Plaut. Aul. 3, 5, 43;

and ironic.,

id. Capt. 3, 5, 73.

To free from (Ciceronian): ut nec Roscium stipulatione alliget, neque a Fannio judicio se absolvat, extricate or free himself from a lawsuit, Cic. Rosc. Com. 12:

longo bello,

Tac. A. 4, 23: caede hostis se absolvere, to absolve or clear one's self by murdering an enemy, id. G. 31.—With gen.:

tutelae,

Dig. 4, 8, 3; hence,

In judicial lang., t. t., to absolve from a charge, to acquit, declare innocent; constr. absol., with abl., gen., or de (Zumpt, § 446;

Rudd. 2, 164 sq.): bis absolutus,

Cic. Pis. 39:

regni suspicione,

Liv. 2, 8: judex absolvit injuriarum eum, Auct. ad Her. 2, 13; so Cic. Verr. 2, 1, 29 al.:

de praevaricatione absolutus,

id. Q. Fr. 2, 16.—In Verr. 2, 2, 8, § 22: hic (Dionem) Veneri absolvit, sibi condemnat, are dativi commodi: from the obligation to Venus he absolves him, but condemns him to discharge that to himself (Verres).—With an abstract noun: fidem absolvit, he acquitted them of their fidelity (to Otho), pardoned it, Tac. H. 2, 60.

In technical lang., to bring a work to a close, to complete, finish (without denoting intrinsic excellence, like perficere; the fig. is prob. derived from detaching a finished web from the loom; cf.:

rem dissolutam divulsamque,

Cic. de Or. 1, 42, 188).—So of the sacrificial cake:

liba absoluta (as taken from the pan),

ready, Varr. R. R. 2, 8;

but esp. freq. in Cic.: ut pictor nemo esset inventus, qui Coae Veneris eam partem, quam Apelles inchoatam reliquisset, absolveret,

Cic. Off. 3, 2 (cf. Suet. Claud. 3); id. Leg. 1, 3, 9; id. Att. 12, 45; cf. id. Fin. 2, 32, 105; id. Fam. 1, 9, 4; id. Att. 13, 19 al.—So in Sallust repeatedly, both with acc. and de, of an historical statement, to bring to a conclusion, to relate:

cetera quam paucissumis absolvam, J. 17, 2: multa paucis,

Cic. Fragm. Hist. 1, n. 2:

de Catilinae conjuratione paucis absolvam,

id. Cat. 4, 3; cf.:

nunc locorum situm, quantum ratio sinit, absolvam,

Amm. 23, 6.— Hence, absŏlūtus, a, um, P. a., brought to a conclusion, finished, ended, complete (cf. absolvo, E.).

In gen.:

nec appellatur vita beata nisi confecta atque absoluta,

when not completed and concluded, Cic. Fin. 2, 27, 87; cf.:

perfecte absolutus,

id. ib. 4, 7, 18; and:

absolutus et perfectus per se,

id. Part. Or. 26, 94 al. — Comp., Quint. 1, 1, 37.— Sup., Auct. ad Her. 2, 18, 28; Plin. 35, 10, 36, § 74; Tac. Or. 5 al.—

Esp.

In rhet. lang., unrestricted, unconditional, absolute:

hoc mihi videor videre, esse quasdam cum adjunctione necessitudines, quasdam simplices et absolutas,

Cic. Inv. 2, 57, 170.—

In gram.

Nomen absolutum, which gives a complete sense without any thing annexed, e. g.:

deus,

Prisc. p. 581 P.—

Verbum absolutum, in Prisc. p. 795 P., that has no case with it; in Diom. p. 333 P., opp. inchoativum.—

Adjectivum absolutum, which stands in the positive, Quint. 9, 3, 19.— Adv.: absŏlūtē, fully, perfectly, completely (syn. perfecte), distinctly, unrestrictedly, absolutely, Cic. Tusc. 4, 17, 38; 5, 18, 53; id. Fin. 3, 7, 26; id. Top. 8, 34 al.— Comp., Macr. Somn. Scip. 2, 15.

ac-cūso (also with ss; cf. Cassiod. 2283 P.), āvi, ātum, 1, v. a. [fr. causa; cf. cludo with claudo], orig. = ad causam provocare, to call one to account, to make complaint against, to reproach, blame.

In gen., of persons:

si id non me accusas, tu ipse objurgandus es,

if you do not call me to account for it, you yourself deserve to be reprimanded, Plaut. Trin. 1, 2, 59:

quid me accusas?

id. As. 1, 3, 21:

meretricem hanc primum adeundam censeo, oremus, accusemus gravius, denique minitemur,

we must entreat, severely chide, and finally threaten her, Ter. Hec. 4, 4, 94 sq.:

ambo accusandi,

you both deserve reproach, id. Heaut. 1, 1, 67:

cotidie accusabam,

I daily took him to task, id. ib. 1, 1, 50:

me accusas cum hunc casum tam graviter feram,

Cic. Att. 3, 13; id. Fam. 1, 1 Manut.:

me tibi excuso in eo ipso, in quo te accuso,

id. Q. Fr. 2, 2:

ut me accusare de epistularum neglegentia possis,

that you may blame me for my tardiness in writing, id. Att. 1, 6. —Also metaph. of things, to blame, find fault with:

alicujus desperationem,

Cic. Fam. 6, 1: inertiam adolescentium, id. de Or. 1, 58 (cf. incusare, Tac. H. 4, 42);

hence also: culpam alicujus,

to lay the fault on one, Cic. Planc. 4, 9; cf. id. Sest. 38, 80; id. Lig. 1, 2; id. Cael. 12, 29.—Hence,

Esp.

Transferred to civil life, to call one to account publicly (ad causam publicam, or publice dicendam provocare), to accuse, to inform against, arraign, indict (while incusare means to involve or entangle one in a cause); t. t. in Roman judicial lang.; constr. with aliquem alicujus rei (like katêgorein, cf. Prisc. 1187 P.):

accusant ii, qui in fortunas hujus invaserunt, causam dicit is, cui nihil reliquerunt,

Cic. Rosc. Am. 5:

numquam, si se ambitu commaculasset, ambitus alterum accusaret,

id. Cael. 7:

ne quis ante actarum rerum accusaretur,

that no one should be called to account for previous offences, Nep. Thras. 3, 2; Milt. 1, 7. Other rarer constructions are: aliquem aliquid (only with id, illud, quod), Plaut. Trin. 1, 2, 59; cf. Ter. Ph. 5, 8, 21:

aliquo crimine,

Cic. Verr. 1, 16; Nep. Milt. 8; id. Lys. 3, 4; id. Ep. 1 al.:

de pecuniis repetundis,

Cic. Clu. 41, 114; cf.:

de veneficiis,

id. Rosc. Am. 32, 90:

inter sicarios,

id. ib. 32; cf. Zumpt, § 446; Rudd. 2, 165 sq.; 169, note 4.—The punishment that is implied in the accusation is put in gen.:

capitis,

to accuse one of a capital crime, Nep. Paus. 2, 6; cf. Zumpt, § 447. —

Casus accusandi, the fourth case in grammar, the accusative case, Var. L. L. 8, § 66 Müll.; v. accusativus.

al-lĭno ( adl-), lēvi, lĭtum, 3, v. a. (upon the formation of the perf. v. Struve, p. 254 sq.; inf. adlinire, Pall. 1, 41 fin.; Febr. tit. 33; Maj. tit. 8, 1).

Lit., to besmear, cover over, bedaub, = aleiphô (very rare):

schedam,

Plin. 13, 12, 23, § 77.—

Trop., to draw over, to attach to, impart to: nulla nota, nullae sordes videbantur his sententiis adlini posse, * Cic. Verr. 1, 6, 17: incomptis (versibus) adlinet atrum signum, * Hor. A. P. 446:

adlinere alteri vitia sua,

Sen. Ep. 7.

ad-sum (Ribbeck has written assum in Novius by conj. from suum of the MSS., Com. Trag. p. 262; in Plaut. Poen. 1, 2, 67, adsum must be pronounced assum, as the pun on the word requires, Roby, I. p. 49), adfui (affui, Merkel, L. Müller), adesse, v. n. (arfui = adfui, S.
