6 amplissime

amplus, a, um, adj. [some regard this as a shortened form of anapleôs, = filled up, full; others, as for ambulus from amb-, rounded out, as superus from super, etc.; v. Doed. Syn. II. p. 113; but perh. it is better to form it from am- and -plus, akin to -pleo, plenus, q. v. Pott], thus pr., full all round; hence, great, large. —In space, of large extent, great, large, wide, ample, spacious (the forms amplus and amplior are very rare in the ante-class. per., and rare in all periods. Amplius is com. in the ante-class., freq. in the class., and very freq. in the post-class. per., the Vulg. rarely using the other forms, but using this 121 times. Amplissimus belongs to prose, and is scarcely used before Cicero, with whom it was a very favorite word. It was also used by Plin. Maj. and Min., but never by Tac., Sall. (in his genuine works), nor the Vulg. Catullus used only the form amplius, and Prop. only amplus, while Tib. and Pers. never used this word in any form. Ampliter is found mostly in Plaut.; and ample and amplissime are used a few times by Cic. and by writers that followed him; syn.: magnus, ingens, latus, late patens, spatiosus, laxus).

Cic. Phil. 12, 21, 50:

To this may be added the elliptical phrases, nihil amplius and si nihil amplius:
nihil amplius, denoting that there is nothing further than has been declared: sese ipsum abs te repetit. Nihil amplius,
Cic. Verr. 5, 49, 128;
(res publica) ulta suas injurias est per vos interitu tyranni. Nihil amplius,
id. Fam. 12, 1, 2; and, si nihil amplius, marking a limit, if nothing more, at least:
excedam tectis? An, si nihil amplius, obstem?
Ov. M. 9, 148.
► The form amplius has the ambiguity of the Engl.
word more, which is sometimes an adj., sometimes a subst., and sometimes an adv., and some of the above examples would admit of different classifications; as, non amplius dicere, not to speak further (adv.) or not to say more (subst.), Plaut. As. 1, 3, 51; but some of them would admit of only one explanation;
as, ne quos amplius Rhenum transire pateretur,
Caes. B. G. 1, 43. Sup.: amplissimē.

Lewis & Short latin dictionary > amplissime
7 amplus

amplus, a, um, adj. [some regard this as a shortened form of anapleôs, = filled up, full; others, as for ambulus from amb-, rounded out, as superus from super, etc.; v. Doed. Syn. II. p. 113; but perh. it is better to form it from am- and -plus, akin to -pleo, plenus, q. v. Pott], thus pr., full all round; hence, great, large. —In space, of large extent, great, large, wide, ample, spacious (the forms amplus and amplior are very rare in the ante-class. per., and rare in all periods. Amplius is com. in the ante-class., freq. in the class., and very freq. in the post-class. per., the Vulg. rarely using the other forms, but using this 121 times. Amplissimus belongs to prose, and is scarcely used before Cicero, with whom it was a very favorite word. It was also used by Plin. Maj. and Min., but never by Tac., Sall. (in his genuine works), nor the Vulg. Catullus used only the form amplius, and Prop. only amplus, while Tib. and Pers. never used this word in any form. Ampliter is found mostly in Plaut.; and ample and amplissime are used a few times by Cic. and by writers that followed him; syn.: magnus, ingens, latus, late patens, spatiosus, laxus).

To this may be added the elliptical phrases, nihil amplius and si nihil amplius:
nihil amplius, denoting that there is nothing further than has been declared: sese ipsum abs te repetit. Nihil amplius,
Cic. Verr. 5, 49, 128;
(res publica) ulta suas injurias est per vos interitu tyranni. Nihil amplius,
id. Fam. 12, 1, 2; and, si nihil amplius, marking a limit, if nothing more, at least:
excedam tectis? An, si nihil amplius, obstem?
Ov. M. 9, 148.
► The form amplius has the ambiguity of the Engl.
word more, which is sometimes an adj., sometimes a subst., and sometimes an adv., and some of the above examples would admit of different classifications; as, non amplius dicere, not to speak further (adv.) or not to say more (subst.), Plaut. As. 1, 3, 51; but some of them would admit of only one explanation;
as, ne quos amplius Rhenum transire pateretur,
Caes. B. G. 1, 43. Sup.: amplissimē.
