Lit. (so very rare):

canem ante tempus,

Amm. 29, 3:

asinum,

App. M. 6, p. 184; cf.:

cum nodo cervicis absolutum,

id. ib. 9, p. 231:

i. e. to open, id. ib. 1, p. 108 fin.:

absoluta lingua (ranarum) a gutture,

loosed, Plin. 11, 37, 65, § 172.

Trop.

To release from a long story, to let one off quickly: Paucis absolvit, ne moraret diutius, Pac. ap. Diom. p. 395 P. (Trag. Rel. p. 98 Rib.); so,

te absolvam brevi,

Plaut. Ep. 3, 4, 30.

To dismiss by paying, to pay off:

absolve hunc vomitum... quattuor quadraginta illi debentur minae,

Plaut. Most. 3, 1, 120; so Ter. Ad. 2, 4, 13 and 18.—Hence, in gen., to dismiss, to release:

jam hosce absolutos censeas,

Plaut. Aul. 3, 5, 43;

and ironic.,

id. Capt. 3, 5, 73.

To free from (Ciceronian): ut nec Roscium stipulatione alliget, neque a Fannio judicio se absolvat, extricate or free himself from a lawsuit, Cic. Rosc. Com. 12:

longo bello,

Tac. A. 4, 23: caede hostis se absolvere, to absolve or clear one's self by murdering an enemy, id. G. 31.—With gen.:

In judicial lang., t. t., to absolve from a charge, to acquit, declare innocent; constr. absol., with abl., gen., or de (Zumpt, § 446;

Rudd. 2, 164 sq.): bis absolutus,

Cic. Pis. 39:

Liv. 2, 8: judex absolvit injuriarum eum, Auct. ad Her. 2, 13; so Cic. Verr. 2, 1, 29 al.:

de praevaricatione absolutus,

id. Q. Fr. 2, 16.—In Verr. 2, 2, 8, § 22: hic (Dionem) Veneri absolvit, sibi condemnat, are dativi commodi: from the obligation to Venus he absolves him, but condemns him to discharge that to himself (Verres).—With an abstract noun: fidem absolvit, he acquitted them of their fidelity (to Otho), pardoned it, Tac. H. 2, 60.

In technical lang., to bring a work to a close, to complete, finish (without denoting intrinsic excellence, like perficere; the fig. is prob. derived from detaching a finished web from the loom; cf.:

rem dissolutam divulsamque,

Cic. de Or. 1, 42, 188).—So of the sacrificial cake:

liba absoluta (as taken from the pan),

ready, Varr. R. R. 2, 8;

but esp. freq. in Cic.: ut pictor nemo esset inventus, qui Coae Veneris eam partem, quam Apelles inchoatam reliquisset, absolveret,

Cic. Off. 3, 2 (cf. Suet. Claud. 3); id. Leg. 1, 3, 9; id. Att. 12, 45; cf. id. Fin. 2, 32, 105; id. Fam. 1, 9, 4; id. Att. 13, 19 al.—So in Sallust repeatedly, both with acc. and de, of an historical statement, to bring to a conclusion, to relate:

cetera quam paucissumis absolvam, J. 17, 2: multa paucis,

Cic. Fragm. Hist. 1, n. 2:

de Catilinae conjuratione paucis absolvam,

id. Cat. 4, 3; cf.:

nunc locorum situm, quantum ratio sinit, absolvam,

Amm. 23, 6.— Hence, absŏlūtus, a, um, P. a., brought to a conclusion, finished, ended, complete (cf. absolvo, E.).

In gen.:

nec appellatur vita beata nisi confecta atque absoluta,

when not completed and concluded, Cic. Fin. 2, 27, 87; cf.:

perfecte absolutus,

id. ib. 4, 7, 18; and:

Nomen absolutum, which gives a complete sense without any thing annexed, e. g.:
