• I do not live to eat, but eat to live. (Quintilianus)

ăd-ĕdo, ēdi, ēsum (less correctly, adessum), 3, v. a. (adest = adedit, Luc. 6, 265; cf. ĕdo), to begin to eat, to bite, to nibble at, to gnaw, etc.—As verb finite very rare, and mostly poet.; not found in prose of Cic.

Prop.:

angues duo ex occulto allapsi adedere jecur,

Liv. 25, 16, 2; so,

adeso jecinore,

Val. Max. 1, 6, 8:

favos,

Verg. G. 4, 242.—Hence metaph. of fire:

cum me supremus adederit ignis,

Ov. Am. 1, 15, 41:

flamma plurima postibus haesit adesis,

Verg. A. 9, 537.—

In an enlarged sense (as a consequence of a continued biting, gnawing, etc.; and hence only in the perf. or part. pass.; cf.: accīdo, absumo, abrumpo), to eat up, to consume entirely: frumento adeso, quod ex areis in oppidum portatum est, Sisenn. ap. Non. 70, 32; so,

extis adesis,

Liv. 1, 7, 13;

pisces ex parte adesi,

Quint. 6, 3, 90: and metaph., to use up, to consume, waste (as money, strength, etc.):

non adesa jam, sed abundante etiam pecunia,

Cic. Quint. 12:

adesis fortunis omnibus,

Tac. A. 13, 21:

bona adesa,

id. H. 1, 4:

adesus cladibus Asdrubal,

Sil. 13, 680.—Hence, ădēsus, a, um, P. a., eaten, gnawed; hence poet., worn away, esp. by water:

adesi lapides,

smooth, polished, Hor. C. 3, 29, 36 (after Theocr. 22, 49; hous potamos periexese):

scopulus,

Ov. H. 10, 26: sale durus adeso caseus, poet. for sale adesus caseus, Verg. Mor. 98.

Gell. 2, 25, 7, also cenatus sum, but of that only the part. cenatus is in use; v. infra, and cf. poto and prandeo), ātum, 1, v. n. and a. [cena].
