make yourself ready, Ter. Ph. 2, 2, 4; so id. Eun. 5, 9, 30; Lucr. 2, 1043:

illi se praedae accingunt,

Verg. A. 1, 210:

accingi ad consulatum,

Liv. 4, 2; in Tac. very often actively, to make any one ready for something:

id. ib. 3, 66 al.; with inf.:

accingar dicere pugnas Caesaris,

Also in the active form, as v. neutr. = se accingere: age, anus, accinge ad molas, Pompon. ap. Non. 469, 28 (Rib. Com. Rel. p. 235):

accingunt omnes operi,

all go vigorously to the work, Verg. A. 2, 235.—Hence, ac-cinctus, a, um, P. a., well girded.
