  • 1 absolvo

    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).
    I.
    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.
    II.
    Trop.
    A.
    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.
    B.
    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.
    C.

    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,

    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.
    E.
    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.).
    A.
    In gen.:

    nec appellatur vita beata nisi confecta atque absoluta,

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

    Prisc. p. 581 P.—
    b.

And. 4, 1, 18: esset, quam dederas, morte soluta fides, by my death your promise to marry me would have been cancelled (cf. II. B. 1. 6.), Ov. H. 10, 78; similarly: suam fidem (i. e. quam Lepido habuerit) solutam esse, that his faith in Lepidus was broken, Planc. ap. Cic. Fam. 10, 21, 3.—With a different construction: se depositi fide solvere, to acquit one's self of the duty to return property intrusted to him (cf. I. B. 1. c.), Val. Max. 7, 3, 5 ext.: factique fide data munera solvit, he freed the gift already given from the obligation of an accomplished fact, i. e. he revoked the gifts, although already made, Ov. M. 11, 135.—
    e.

    ut verba neque inligata sint, quasi... versus, neque ita soluta ut vagentur,
