To magnify; hence, in sacrificial language, to which this word chiefly belongs, to honor, to worship, or to offer in worship, to sacrifice, burn, according as it has such words as deos, aras, etc., or hostiam, viscera, and tura, for its object; v. explanation of this word in Non. 58, 21: “Adolere verbum est proprie sacra reddentium, quod significat votis ac supplicationibus numen auctius facere;” and “Adolere est urere, Verg. in Bucol. [8, 65], verbenasque adole pinguis et mascula tura. Adolere, augere, honorare, propitiare; et est verbum sacratum, ut macte, magis aucte.” etc.; so Serv. ad Verg. A. 1, 704: “Flammis adolere penates, i. e. colere, sed adolere est proprie augere. In sacris autem, kat euphêmismon, adolere per bonum omen dicitur, nam in aris non adolentur aliqua, sed cremantur,”) and ad E. 8, 65: “Adole: incende, sed kat euphêmismon dicitur;
