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.:

morari eum (Claudium) inter homines desiisse, productā primā syllabā, jocabatur,

Suet. Ner. 33.
