admissārĭus, a, um, adj. [admitto], sc. equus, asinus, etc., a horse, ass, etc., that is used for breeding, a stallion, etc.:

equus,

as-sentĭor ( ads-, Fleck., B. and K., Halm, Weissenb.; ass-, Merk.), sensus, 4, v. dep. [sentio] (the act. form assentio, īre, was out of use even in the time of Varro, Varr. L. L. Fragm. ap. Gell. 2, 25, 9; cf. Spald. ad Quint. 1, 5, 55. The middle use of the word corresponds far better with its signif. than the active; for while adsentio prop. signif. only sentiendo accedere ad aliquem or aliquid, to make known one's inclination or feeling toward any object, whether in favor of or against it; the middle, assentior, = sentiendo se applicare, designates a friendly joining of one's self to any one. The act. form, adsentio, is found in Plaut. Am. 2, 2, 192; id. Rud. 4, 3, 36; Att. and Pompon. ap. Non. p. 469, 16 sq.; Verg. A. 2, 130; in Cic. only three times in epist. style (which is worthy of notice; cf. absque), Fam. 5, 2, 9; Att. 9, 9; and ad Q. Fr. 2, 1, 2; cf. Diom. p. 377 P.;

Tac. H. 5, 3; id. A. 3, 51; 3, 23; Suet. Vesp. 6; Curt. 4, 13, 4; Gell. 6, 5, 5 al.), lit., to join one in opinion, to agree with; hence, to assent to, give assent, to approve, give approval; with dat. or absol.: adsensus sum homini, Lucil. ap. Prisc. p. 801:

Vulg. Dan. 13, 20.— With neutr. acc. aliquid, cetera, etc.:

non habeo autem quid tibi adsentiar,

Cic. N. D. 3, 25, 64:

vitiosum est adsentiri quidquam falsum,

id. Ac. 2, 21, 68:

cetera adsentior Crasso,

id. de Or. 1, 9, 35:

Cic. de Or. 1, 28, 126; so id. ib. 3, 48, 182.

Gell. 16, 10, 15: adsiduus dicitur, qui in eā re, quam frequenter agit, quasi consedisse videatur. Alii assiduum locupletem, quasi multorum assium dictum putārunt. Alii eum, qui sumptu proprio militabat, ab asse dando vocatum existimārunt, Paul. ex Fest. p. 9 Müll.:
