Cic. Off. 3, 27, 100; id. Agr. 3, 2, 9 (where for causa in the foll. clause is condicio):

atque in hoc genere mea causa est, ut, etc.,

id. Fam. 2, 4, 1; cf. id. ib. 9, 13, 1.—

= negotium, a cause, business undertaken for any one, an employment:

cui senatus dederat publice causam, ut mihi gratias ageret,

Cic. Verr. 2, 3, 73, § 170:

quod nemo eorum rediisset, qui super tali causā eodem missi erant,

Nep. Paus. 4, 1.—

In medic. lang., a cause for disease:

causam metuere,

Cels. 3, 3; so Sen. Cons. ad Marc. 11 fin.; Plin. 28, 15, 61, § 218.—Hence in late Lat. for disease, Cael. Aur. Tard. 5, 10, 95; id. Acut. 2, 29, 157; Veg. 1, 25, 1; 3, 6, 11; 3, 45, 5; 4, 4, 2 al.—

That which lies at the basis of a rhetorical representation, matter, subject, hupothesis, Cic. Top. 21, 79; id. Inv. 1, 6, 8; Auct. Her. 1, 11, 18; Quint. 3, 5, 7 sq.

mŏror, ātus, 1, v. dep. n. and a. [mora].

Neutr., to delay, tarry, stay, wait, remain, linger, loiter (syn.: cesso, cunctor, haesito; class.); eamus ergo ad cenam: quid stas? Thr. Ubi vis:

non moror,

i. e. I have no objection, Ter. Eun. 3, 2, 6:

Lucceius narravit, Brutum valde morari, non tergiversantem, sed exspectantem, si qui forte casus, etc.,

Cic. Att. 16, 5, 3:

quid moror?

Hor. C. 2, 17, 6:

quid multis moror?

why do I linger long? why make a long story of it? Ter. And. 1, 1, 87:

ne multis morer,

to be brief, in short, Cic. Verr. 2, 4, 46, § 104:

paulum morandum in his intervallis,

Quint. 11, 3, 39:

quod adhuc Brundisii moratus es,

have tarried, remained, Cic. Fam. 15, 17, 2:

in provinciā,

id. Att. 7, 1, 5:

haud multa moratus,

i. e. without delaying long, Verg. A. 3, 610:

nec plura moratus,

without tarrying any longer, id. ib. 5, 381:

rosa quo locorum Sera moretur,

may linger, may be, Hor. C. 1, 38, 3:

Corycia semper qui puppe moraris,

Juv. 14, 267.—With cum:

ubi, et cum quibus moreris,

stay, reside, Sen. Ep. 32, 1.—With quin:

nec morati sunt quin decurrerent ad castra,

Liv. 40, 31, 8.—In the part. perf. subst.:

ad sexcentos moratorum in citeriore ripā cepit,

Liv. 21, 47, 3; 21, 48, 6; cf.:

ad duo milia aut moratorum aut palantium per agros interfecta,

id. 24, 41, 4; v. Drakenb. ad h. 1.—

Act., to delay, retard, detain, cause to wait, hinder:

ne affinem morer, Quin, etc.,

delay, Plaut. Aul. 4, 2, 5:

argentum non morabor quin feras,

id. As. 2, 2, 88:

morari ac sustinere impetum hostium,

Caes. B. C. 2, 26:

conanti dexteram manum,

id. ib. 5, 44, 8:

Cic. Fam. 6, 20, 28:

Caes. B. G. 7, 40:

Plin. 9, 25, 41, § 80:

morari ab itinere proposito hostem,

Liv. 23, 28, 9:

morantur pauci Ridiculum et fugientem ex urbe pudorem,

Juv. 11, 54.—

To fix the attention of, to delight, amuse, entertain: morata recte Fabula Valdius oblectat, populum meliusque moratur, Quam, etc., delays, i. e. entertains, Hor. A. P. 321:

carmina, quae possint oculos auresque morari Caesaris,

arrest, id. Ep. 1, 13, 17:

tardior stilus cogitationem moratur,

Quint. 1, 1, 28: profecto non plus biduum aut— Ph. Aut? nihil moror, I will wait no longer, will bear no delay, Ter. Eun. 1, 2, 104:

egomet convivas moror,

keep them waiting, Ter. Heaut. 1, 1, 120.—

In partic.: nihil morari aliquem, not to detain a person, to let him go, to dismiss. Thus the consul said when he dismissed the Senate:

Nihil amplius vos moramur,

I will detain you no longer, you are dismissed, Capitol. M. Aurel. 10. This is the customary formula for abandoning an accusation and dismissing an accused person:

C. Sempronium nihil moror,

i. e. I withdraw my accusation against, Liv. 4, 42, 8:

cum se nihil morari magistrum equitum pronuntiasset,

id. 8, 35, 8:

negavit, se Gracchum morari,

id. 43, 16, 16.—Hence,

Trop.: nihil morari (with acc., an object-clause, or quo minus), to let a thing go, i. e. not to value or regard, to care nothing about it, to have nothing to say against it, etc.:

nam vina nihil moror illius orae,

care nothing for it, am not fond of it, Hor. Ep. 1, 15, 16:

officium,

id. ib. 2, 1, 264:

nec dona moror,

Verg. A. 5, 400:

nil ego istos moror faeceos mores,

Plaut. Trin. 2, 2, 18 Brix ad loc.—With object-clauses:

alieno uti nihil moror,

I do not want to, Plaut. Capt. prol. 16: nihil moror, eos salvos esse, et ire quo jubetis, am not opposed to it, have nothing to say against it, Ant. ap. Cic. Phil. 13, 17, 35:

nil moror eum tibi esse amicum,

Plaut. Trin. 2, 2, 56.— With quominus:

nihil ego quidem moror, quominus decemviratu abeam,

I do not hesitate to, I will immediately, Liv. 3, 54, 4. —Hence, * mŏrātē, adv., lingeringly, slowly:

moratius,

Sen. Q. N. 6, 14, 3.

Act. collat. form mŏro, āre: quid moras? Naev. ap. Diom. p. 395 P.: morares Enn. ib.: moraret, Pac. ib. (cf. Enn. p. 154, v. 11 Vahl.; Trag. Rel. p. 82 Rib.; Com. Rel. p. 16 ib.).—

Pass. impers.: ita diu, ut plus biennium in his tricis moretur, be spent, lost, Cael. ap. Cic. Fam. 8, 5, 2.

mōror, 1, v. dep. n. [môros], to be foolish, be a fool (post-Aug.), in the lusus verbb.:

Facere omitted, especially in short sentences expressing a judgment upon conduct, etc.:

factus, a, um, P. a.

As adjective ante-class. and very rare:

is no nearer bringing it about, Plaut. Trin. 2, 3, 6; cf. Lorenz ad loc.—Far more freq.,
