constĭtūtum

ănĭmăl, ālis (abl. animali; but Rhem. Palaem. p. 1372 P. gives animale), n. [as if for animale, which is found in Cic. Fin. 2, 10, 31 MS.; Lucr. 3, 635; cf. animalis], a living being, an animal.

In the widest sense, zôon (cf. zôos = living):

inanimum est omne, quod pulsu agitatur externo, quod autem est animal, id motu cietur interiore et suo,

Cic. Tusc. 1, 23, 54, where it is opp. to the adj. inanimum, and therefore is equivalent to animale; cf. id. Ac. 2, 12:

uti possint sentire animalia quaeque,

Lucr. 2, 973:

cum omne animal patibilem naturam habeat, etc.,

Cic. N. D. 3, 12, 29; 2, 47, 122:

formicae, animal minumum,

Plin. 7, 15, 13, § 65; 28, 4, 6, § 33 et saep.—Of men:

animal providum et sagax homo,

Cic. Leg. 1, 7, 22; so id. Fin. 2, 13:

sanctius his animal,

Ov. M. 1, 76:

bicipites hominum aliorumve animalium,

Tac. A. 15, 47:

(Vitellius) umbraculis hortorum abditus, ut ignava animalia, quibus cibum suggeras, jacent torpentque,

id. H. 3, 36; 4, 17:

etiam fera animalia, si clausa teneas, virtutis obliviscuntur,

id. ib. 4, 64; id. Agr. 34:

animalia maris,

id. A. 15, 37; Plin. 10, 63, 83, § 171.—Also of the universe, considered as an animated existence:

hunc mundum animal esse, idque intellegens et divinā providentiā constitutum,

Cic. Tim. 3; 4.—

Sometimes in a more restricted sense, as antith. to man, a beast (as in Heb., animal, from, to live):

multa ab animalium vocibus tralata in homines,

Varr. L. L. 7, 5, 100:

alia animalia gradiendo, alia serpendo, etc.,

Cic. N. D. 2, 47, 122:

animalia inusitata ceteris gentibus, nisi invecta,

Curt. 8, 9, 16; Sen. Ep 76, 6:

si quod animal in mustum inciderit,

Col. 12, 31:

si quod animal aurem intraverit,

Plin. 28, 4, 7, § 37:

similitudo non ab hominibus modo petitur, verum etiam ab animalibus,

Quint. 6, 3, 57.—Hence, with contempt, of a man:

funestum illud animal, ex nefariis stupris concretum,

that pernicious brute, Cic. Pis. 9.

antīquus, a, um, adj. [a diff. orthog. for anticus, from ante] (of that which is before in time, while anticus denotes that which is before in space; cf. Vel. Long. p. 2223 P.), that has been or has been done before, old, ancient, former (opp. novus, that has not previously existed, new; while vetus, that has existed a long time, is opp. recens, that has not been long in existence, recent; cf. Manut. ad Cic. Fam. 11, 21; Lind. ad Plaut. Mil. 3, 1, 154, and id. Capt. 1, 2, 29; Doed. Syn. IV. p. 82 sq.).

A. and B.); only in the comic poets, and sometimes (most. freq. in his epistt.) in Cic., while the adverbial form certe belongs to all periods and all species of composition.

In composition, ex (cf. dis) before vowels and h, and before c, p, q, t (exagito, exeo, exigo, exoro, exuro, exhaurio; excedo, expello, exquiro, extraho); ef (sometimes ec) before f (effero, effluo, effringo; also in good MSS. ecfero, ecfari, ecfodio), elsewhere e (eblandior, educo, egredior, eicio, eligo, emitto, enitor, evado, eveho). A few exceptions are found, viz., in ex: epoto and epotus as well as expotus, and escendo as well as exscensio; in e: exbibo as well as ebibo; exballisto, exbola; exdorsuo; exfututa as well as effutuo; exfibulo; exlex, etc. After ex in compounds s is [p. 671] often elided in MSS. and edd. Both forms are correct, but the best usage and analogy favor the retaining of the s; so, exsaevio, exsanguis, exscensio, exscindo, exscribo, exsculpo, exseco, exsecror, exsequiae, exsequor, exsero, exsicco, exsilio, exsilium, exsisto, exsolvo, exsomnis, exsorbeo, exsors, exspecto, exspes, exspiro, exspolio, exspuo, exsterno, exstimulo, exstinguo, exstirpo, exsto, exstruo, exsudo, exsugo, exsul, exsulto, exsupero, exsurgo, exsuscito, and some others, with their derivv.; cf. Ribbeck, Prol. Verg. p. 445 sq. Only in escendere and escensio is the elision of x before s sustained by preponderant usage; cf. Neue, Formenl. 2, p. 766.—

Signification.

Primarily and most freq. of place, out or forth: exeo, elabor, educo, evado, etc.; and in an upward direction: emineo, effervesco, effero, erigo, exsurgo, exsulto, extollo, everto, etc.—Hence also, trop., out of ( a former nature), as in effeminare, qs. to change out of his own nature into that of a woman: effero, are, to render wild; thus ex comes to denote privation or negation, Engl. un-: exanimare, excusare, enodare, exonerare, effrenare, egelidus, I., elinguis, elumbis, etc.—

Throughout, to the end: effervesco, effero, elugeo; so in the neuter verbs which in composition (esp. since the Aug. per.) become active: egredior, enavigo, eno, enitor, excedo, etc.—Hence, thoroughly, utterly, completely: elaudare, emori, enecare, evastare, evincere (but eminari and eminatio are false readings for minari and minatio; q. v.); and hence a simple enhancing of the principal idea: edurus, efferus, elamentabilis, egelidus, exacerbo, exaugeo, excolo, edisco, elaboro, etc. In many compounds, however, of post - Aug. and especially of post-class. Latinity this force of ex is no longer distinct; so in appellations of color: exalbidus, exaluminatus, etc.; so in exabusus, exambire, exancillatus, etc. Vid. Hand Turs. II. Pp. 613-662.
