sēdulus

sēdŭlus, a, um, adj. [etym. dub.; acc. to Curt. from root hed-, to go; Gr. hodos, way; whence Lat. solum, solium; cf. tremulus, from tremo; prop. active, inclined to motion; but perh. better referred to root sed-, sid-, (Sanscr. sad-), of sedeo; Engl. sit; cf. assiduus. The derivation from sē - dolo, adopted by Don. Ter. Ad. 3, 3, 59; Serv. Verg. A. 2, 374; Non. 37, 28; and Isid. Orig. 10, 244 and 247; cf. Döderl. Syn. 1, p. 117 sq. al., is an error]; orig. sitting fast, persisting in some course of action; hence, busy, diligent, industrious, zealous, careful, unremitting, solicitous, assiduous, sedulous (mostly poet.;

syn.: diligens, officiosus, attentus): eloquentes videbare, non sedulos velle conquirere,

With the accessory idea of activity, quick, hasty, or precipitate in action; prompt, active, busy (with direct reference to the action, and hence used of inanimate things; while sedulus, diligent, assiduous, regards more the state of mind; both, however, refer to the simple idea of mobility, Doed.

Ov. M. 1, 144:

si vespertinus subito te oppresserit hospes,

id. ib. 2, 4, 17:

Cic. Rab. Perd. 10, 28:

nec peregrinus atque hospes in agendo,

id. de Or. 1, 50, 218:

nos in nostra urbe peregrinantes errantesque tamquam hospites tui libri quasi domum deduxerunt,

id. Ac. 1, 3, 9.—So in addressing a foreigner, like the Gr. xene, stranger:

cum (Theophrastus) percontaretur ex anicula quadam, quanti aliquid venderet, et respondisset illa atque addidisset, Hospes, non pote minoris: tulisse eum moleste, se non effugere hospitis speciem, cum aetatem ageret Athenis optimeque loqueretur,

id. Brut. 46, 172; Quint. 8, 1, 2: dic, hospes, Spartae, nos te hic vidisse jacentes, Cic. poët. Tusc. 1, 42, 101 (a transl. of the Gr. Ô xein, angellein Aakedaimoniois, etc., Herod. 7, 228): hospes, quid miras curare Serapin? Varr. ap. Non. 480, 30; Prop. 4, 1, 1.— Fem., hospita, a female stranger:

hanc hospitam crepidula ut graphice decet,

Plaut. Pers. 4, 2, 3.—

Hence, a stranger in any matter, ignorant of, unacquainted with:

si erit idem in consuetudine civitatis hospes,

Cic. de Or. 2, 30, 131:

vos ignoretis, vos hospites in hac urbe versamini,

id. Mil. 12, 33.—
