Hence,
A.
Dropping the idea of asking, entreating, to reverence, honor, adore, worship the gods or objects of nature regarded as gods; more emphatic than venerari, and denoting the highest degree of reverence (Gr. proskunein); the habitus adorantium was to put the right hand to the mouth and turn about the entire body to the right (dextratio, q. v.); cf. Plin. 28, 2, 5, § 25; Liv. 5, 21; App. M. 4, 28. —Constr. with acc., dat., with prepp. or absol.
(α).
With acc.:
Auctoremque viae Phoebum taciturnus adorat,
Ov. M. 3, 18:
Janus adorandus,
id. F. 3, 881:
in delubra non nisi adoraturus intras,

Deum adora,
ib. Apoc. 22, 9;
so of Christ: videntes eum adoraverunt,

(δ).
Absol. (eccl.):
Patres nostri in hoc monte adoraverunt,
Vulg. Joan. 4, 20 bis.; ib. Act. 24, 11.—And,
B.
The notion of religious regard being dropped, to reverence, admire, esteem highly:
adorare priscorum in inveniendo curam,
Plin. 27, 1, 1, § 1:
Ennium sicut sacros vetustate lucos adoremus,
Quint. 10, 1, 88:
veteris qui tollunt grandia templi pocula adorandae rubiginis,
Juv. 13, 148:
nec tu divinam Aeneida tenta, Sed longe sequere et vestigia semper adora,
Stat. Th. 12, 816.—
C.
Under the emperors the Oriental custom being introduced of worshipping the Cæsars with divine ceremony, to worship, to reverence:
C. Caesarem adorari ut deum constituit, cum reversus ex Syria, non aliter adire ausus esset quam capite velato circumvertensque se, deinde procumbens,
Suet. Vit. 2; App. M. 4, 28; Min. Fel. 2, 5:
non salutari, sed adorari se jubet (Alexander),
Just. 12, 7:
adorare Caesarum imagines,
Suet. Calig. 14: coronam a judicibus ad se delatam adoravit, did obeisance before, id. Ner. 12:
adorare purpuram principis,
i. e. touched his purple robe and brought it to the mouth in reverence, Amm. 21, 9.—Of adulation to the rabble, to pay court to:
nec deerat Otho protendens manus, adorare volgum,
Tac. H. 1, 36.
► This word does not occur in Cic.
; for in Arch. 11, 28, where adoravi was given by Mai in Fragm. p. 124, Halm reads adhortatus sum, and B. and K. adornavi.
