accendo, ōnis, m. [2. accendo], an inciter, instigator; read by Salmasius in Tert. de Pall. 6, where the old reading cerdo is to be preferred.

ac-cendo, ndi, nsum, 3, v. a. [cf. candeo], prop. to kindle any thing above, so that it may burn downwards (on the contr., succendere, to kindle underneath, so that it may burn upwards; and incendere, to set fire to on every side) (class., esp. in the trop. signif., very freq.).

Lit., to set on fire, to kindle, light: ut Pergama accensa est, Liv. Andr. ap. Non. 512, 31 (Rib. Trag. Rel. p. 1):

faces accensae,

Cic. Pis. 5: lumen de suo lumine, to kindle, Enn. ap. Cic. Off. 1, 16, 51 (Trag. v. 388 ed. Vahl.); cf.:

ita res accendent lumina rebus,

Lucr. 1 fin.; and:

Deus solem quasi lumen accendit,

Cic. Univ. 9, 28; so,

ignem,

Verg. A. 5, 4 al.

Meton., to light up, to illuminate:

luna radiis solis accensa,

Cic. Rep. 6, 17 (cf. id. N. D. 1, 31, 87);

so of the lustre of gold: et gemmis galeam clypeumque accenderat auro,

Sil. 15, 681 (but in Cic. Arch. 6, 14, the correct read. is accederet, v. Halm a. h. l.).

Fig., to inflame a person or thing (by any thing), to set on fire, to kindle, to incite, rouse up; aliquem or aliquid aliqua re: placare hostem ferocem inimiciterque accensum, Att. ap. Non. 514, 22:

quos meritā accendit Mezentius irā,

Verg. A. 8, 50:

nunc prece nunc dictis virtutem accendit amaris,

id. ib. 10, 368 (7, 482, bello animos accendit, is more properly dat.). That to which one is excited is denoted by ad:

ad dominationem accensi sunt,

Sall. Jug. 31, 16; the person against whom one is excited, by in or contra:

in maritum accendebat,

Tac. A. 1, 53:

quae res Marium contra Metellum vehementer accenderat,

Sall. J. 64, 4; with quare c. subj.:

accendis quare cupiam magis illi proximus esse,

Hor. S. 1, 9, 53. The historians use this word very often, esp. with abstract substt.:

certamen,

Liv. 35, 10:

discordiam,

id. 2, 29:

spem,

Tac. Ann. 12, 34 (cf. Verg. A. 5, 183):

dolorem,

id. ib. 15, 1 al. In Cic. de Or. 1, 25, 114, praeclare enim se res habeat, si haec accendi aut commoveri arte possint, accendi is obviously the first enkindling, rousing, of talent (syn. with commoveri); cf. id. de Or. 2, 47; id. Phil. 3, 7. And so perhaps Sen. Ben. 7, 9: crystallina... quorum accendit fragilitas pretium, signifies vessels of crystal, whose fragility gives them value (in the eyes of luxurious men).

as-sŭesco ( ads-, B. and K., Rib., Halm, Weissenb.; ads- and ass-, Merk.), ēvi, ētum, 3 (adsuëtus, four syll., Phaedr. 3, prol. 14), v. a., to use or accustom one to something, to habituate; or, more freq., v. n., to accustom one's self to, to be wont, to be accustomed to.

In gen.; constr. usu. with abl. or inf.; after the Aug. per. also with ad, in with acc., or dat.

With abl. (a constr. unjustly censured by Wunder, Rhein. Mus. 1829, II. p. 288 sq. The idea of the ad, which would require the acc. or dat. case, is not, as at a later period, prominent in the word, but that of suesco; accordingly, pr., to adopt some custom, to addict or apply one's self to a custom or habit, to become accustomed to something; so that the abl. of specification, as in amore affici, pedibus laborare, etc., only designates more specifically the object which is the subject of that custom; cf. Gron. and Drak. ad Liv. 31, 35, 3; Kritz. ad Sall. C. 2, 9; Rudd. II. p. 137 sq.; Ramsh. p. 427;

Cic. Leg. 2, 24, 60; id. Ac. 2, 18, 60; id. Clu. 34, 92:

inquit (sc. scriptor litterarum),

id. Verr. 2, 5, 57, § 248; id. Brut. 83, 287; id. Att. 14, 12, 2: nec magis quisquam eodem tempore et iratus potest esse, et vir bonus, quam aeger et sanus. Non potest, inquit, omnis ex animo ira tolli, nec hominis natura patitur, Sen. de Ira, 2, 12.—

hoc adjunxit: Pater, inquit, meus,

Nep. Hann. 2, 2. —

It is freq. repeated: Crassus. numquidnam, inquit, novi? Nihil sane, inquit Catulus;

etenim vides esse ludos: sed vel tu nos ineptos, licet [inquit], vel molestos putes, cum ad me in Tusculanum, inquit, heri vesperi venisset Caesar de Tusculano suo, dixit,

Cic. de Or. 2, 3, 13; id. N. D. 1, 7, 17: dicam equidem, Caesar inquit, quid intellegam;

sed tu et vos omnes hoc, inquit, mementote,
