10 adhuc

ăd-huc, adv.
I.
Prop., of place, to this place, hitherto, thus far (designating the limit, inclusive of the whole space traversed: hence often joined with usque; cf.
ad, A. 1. B.): conveniunt adhuc utriusque verba,
thus far, to this point, the statements of both agree, Plaut. Truc. 4, 3, 20:
adhuc ea dixi, causa cur Zenoni non fuisset,
Cic. Fin. 4, 16, 44; cf. Auct. Her. 1, 9, 16:
his oris, quas angulo Baeticae adhuc usque perstrinximus,
Mel. 3, 6, 1.—Hence, in the desig. of measure or degree, so far, to such a degree:
et ipse Caesar erat adhuc impudens, qui exercitum et provinciam invito senatu teneret,
Cic. Fam. 16, 11, 4; so Liv. 21, 18, 4; Quint. 2, 19, 2; 8, 5, 20.—More frequently,
II.
Transf.
A.
Of time, until now, hitherto, as yet (designating the limit, together with the period already passed; cf.
ad, 1. B.): res adhuc quidem hercle in tuto est,
Plaut. Merc. 2, 3, 48:
celabitur itidem ut celata adhuc est,
Ter. Phorm. 4, 3, 20:
sicut adhuc fecerunt, speculabuntur,
Cic. Cat. 1, 2, 6:
ille vidit non modo, quot fuissent adhuc philosophorum de summo bono, sed quot omnino esse possent sententiae,
id. Fin. 5, 6, 16:
haec adhuc (sc. acta sunt): sed ad praeterita revertamur,
id. Att. 5, 20; so ib. 3, 14 fin.; 5, 17, 46; id. Agr. 3, 1, 1:
Britanni, qui adhuc pugnae expertes,
Tac. Agr. 37; so Curt. 7, 7, 8 al.—With usque or semper:
usque adhuc actum est probe,
Plaut. Mil. 2, 6, 107; so id. Ps. 4, 7, 14; Ter. And. 1, 5, 27; id. Ad. 4, 4, 23; 5, 4, 5; id. Hec. 4, 1, 29; Cic. Rep. 2, 20:
quod adhuc semper tacui et tacendum putavi,
Cic. de Or. 1, 26, 119.—With dum in subordinate propositions, for the purpose of more accurate desig. of time:
quae adhuc te carens, dum hic fui, sustentabam,
what I have endured during the whole time that I have been here, until now, Plaut. Capt. 5, 1, 4:
adhuc dum mihi nullo loco deesse vis, numquam te confirmare potuisti,
Cic. Fam. 16, 4; so ib. 18.—Hence the adverbial expression (occurring once in Plautus): adhuc locorum, until now, hitherto: ut adhuc locorum feci, faciam sedulo, Capt. 2, 3, 25.— Adhuc denotes not merely a limitation of time in the present, but also, though more rarely, like usque eo and ad id tempus, and the Engl. as yet, in the past:
adhuc haec erant, ad reliqua alacri tendebamus animo,
Cic. Div. 2, 2, 4:
Abraham vero adhuc stabat,
Vulg. Gen. 18, 22:
unam adhuc a te epistulam acceperam,
Cic. Att. 7, 2:
cum adhuc sustinuisset multos dies,
Vulg. Act. 18, 18:
scripsi etiam illud quodam in libello... disertos me cognōsse nonnullos, eloquentem adhuc neminem,
id. de Or. 1, 21:
una adhuc victoria Carus Metius censebatur,
Tac. Agr. 45.—
B.
Adhuc non, or neque adhuc, not as yet, not to this time: nihil adhuc, nothing as yet, or not at all as yet: numquam adhuc, never as yet, never yet:
cupidissimi veniendi maximis injuriis affecti, adhuc non venerunt,
Cic. Verr. 2, 2, 27, 65:
me adhuc non legisse turpe utrique nostrum est,
id. Fam. 7, 24, 7; so id. 3, 8, 25; 6, 14; 14, 6, 2; Mart. 7, 89, 10:
cui neque fulgor adhuc nec dum sua forma recessit,
Verg. A. 11, 70:
nihil adhuc peccavit etiam,
Plaut. Pers. 4, 4, 78:
nihil adhuc est, quod vereare,
Ter. Heaut. 1, 2, 1:
sed quod quaeris, quando, qua, quo, nihil adhuc scimus,
Cic. Fam. 9, 7, 4; so 9, 17, 7; Caes. B. C. 3, 57; Nep. Milt. 5:
numquam etiam quicquam adhuc verborum est prolocutus perperam,
Plaut. Am. 1, 1, 92; cf. id. Capt. 5, 2, 7.—
C.
For etiam nunc, yet, still; to denote continuance (apparently not used by Cic.):
stertis adhuc?
are you still snoring? Pers. 3, 58;
adhuc tranquilla res est,
it is still quiet, Ter. Ph. 3, 1, 15; so id. Ad. 1, 2, 42:
Ephesi regem est consecutus fluctuantem adhuc animo,
Liv. 33, 49, 7; so 21, 43, 14; Tac. A. 1, 8, 17; id. H. 2, 44, 73; 4, 17; id. Germ. 28; Suet. Aug. 56, 69; Plin. Ep. 4, 13, 1; Curt. 8, 6, 18: quinque satis fuerant; nam sex septemve libelli est nimium: quid adhuc ludere, Musa, juvat? why play still, still more, or further? Mart. 8, 3; so id. 4, 91.—
D.
Hence also to denote that a thing is still remaining or existing:
at in veterum comicorum adhuc libris invenio,
I yet find in the old comic poets, Quint. 1, 7, 22:
quippe tres adhuc legiones erant,
were still left, Tac. H. 3, 9; so id. G. 34; id. Ann. 2, 26; Mart. 7, 44, 1.—With vb. omitted:
si quis adhuc precibus locus, exue mentem,
Verg. A. 4, 319.—
E.
To denote that a thing has only reached a certain point, now first, just now: cum adhuc ( now for the first time) naso odos obsecutus es meo, da vicissim meo gutturi gaudium, Plaut. Curc. 1, 2, 9:
gangraenam vero, si nondum plane tenet, sed adhuc incipit, curare non difficillimum est,
Cels. 5, 26, 34; so Mart. 13, 102.—Hence, with deinde or aliquando following:
quam concedis adhuc artem omnino non esse, sed aliquando,
Cic. de Or. 1, 58, 246:
senatus priusquam edicto convocaretur ad curiam concurrit, obseratisque adhuc foribus, deinde apertis, tantas mortuo gratias agit, etc.,
Suet. Tit. 11; so Tac. A. 11, 23.—
F.
To denote that a thing had reached a certain limit before another thing happened (in prose only after Livy), still, yet, while yet:
inconditam multitudinem adhuc disjecit,
he dispersed the multitude while yet unarranged, Tac. A. 3, 42.—
G.
For etiam, insuper, praeterea, to denote that a thing occurs beside or along with another (belonging perhaps only to popular language, hence once in Plaut., and to the post-Aug. per.), besides, further, moreover:
addam minam adhuc istic postea,
Plaut. Truc. 5, 18:
unam rem adhuc adiciam,
Sen. Q. N. 4, 8:
sunt adhuc aliquae non omittendae in auro differentiae,

H.
In later Lat. adhuc is used like etiam in the Cic. per., = eti, yet, still, for the sake of emphasis in comparisons; then, if it cnhances the comparative, it stands before it; but follows it, if that which the comp. expresses is added by way of augmentation; as, he has done a still greater thing, and he has still done a greater thing (this is the view of Hand, Turs. I. p. 166):
tum Callicles adhuc concitatior,
Quint. 2, 15, 28:
adhuc difficilior observatio est per tenores,
id. 1, 5, 22:
si marmor illi (Phidiae), si adhuc viliorem materiem obtulisses, fecisset, etc.,

Di faveant, majora adhuc restant,
Curt. 9, 6, 23; so Quint. 10, 1, 99; Tac. G. 19; Suet. Ner. 10.
I.
Adhuc sometimes = adeo, even (in the connection, et adhuc, -que adhuc; v. adeo, II.).
a.
Ita res successit meliusque adhuc, Plaut. Bacch. 4, 9, 18:
Tellurem Nymphasque et adhuc ignota precatur flumina,
Verg. A. 7, 137:
Nil parvum sapias et adhuc sublimia cures,
Hor. Ep. 1, 12, 15; so ib. 2, 2, 114; Liv. 22, 49, 10; Sen. Ep. 49, 4.—
b.
Absol.:

Tac. G. 22:
cetera similes Batavis, nisi quod ipso adhuc terrae suae solo et caelo acrius animantur,
ib. 29, 3 (cf.: ipse adeo under adeo, II., and at the end); so Stat. S. 1, 2, 55.—See more upon this word, Hand, Turs. I. pp. 156-167.
