Latin
[edit]Etymology
[edit]From mōlēs (“a pile, heap”).
Pronunciation
[edit]- (Classical Latin) IPA(key): /ˈmoː.li.or/, [ˈmoːlʲiɔr]
- (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): /ˈmo.li.or/, [ˈmɔːlior]
Verb
[edit]mōlior (present infinitive mōlīrī or mōlīrier, perfect active mōlītus sum); fourth conjugation, deponent
- to strive, endeavor, work at
- to put in motion, shake, move
- to rouse, bestir
- to undertake, start, begin, commence
- to erect, construct
- (figuratively) to attempt, stir up
- c. 190 BCE – 185 BCE, Plautus, Persa 5.2.8:
- Quia eī fidem nōn habuī argentī, eō mihi eās māchinās mōlītu'st.
- Because I had no trust in him about the silver, he laid me these machinations.
- Quia eī fidem nōn habuī argentī, eō mihi eās māchinās mōlītu'st.
- 63 BCE, Cicero, Catiline Orations 1.8:
- Nihil agis, nihil mōlīris, nihil cōgitās quod nōn ego nōn modo audiam sed etiam videam plānēque sentiam.
- You do nothing, you plan nothing, you think of nothing which I not only do not hear, but which I do not see and know every particular of.
- Nihil agis, nihil mōlīris, nihil cōgitās quod nōn ego nōn modo audiam sed etiam videam plānēque sentiam.
- c. 37 BCE – 30 BCE, Virgil, Georgics 1.268–272:
- Quippe etiam fēstīs quaedam exercēre diēbus
fās et iūra sinunt: rīvōs dēdūcere nūlla
rēligiō vetuit, segetī praetendere saepem,
īnsidiās avibus mōlīrī, incendere veprēs,
bālantumque gregem fluviō mersāre salūbrī.- Of course, even on holidays to do some tasks
divine order and laws allow: to guide down the rills no
religion has forbidden, to lay a hedge in front of a crop,
to set the birds traps, to burn bushes,
to bathe the bleating herd in the clean river.
- Of course, even on holidays to do some tasks
- Quippe etiam fēstīs quaedam exercēre diēbus
- c. 190 BCE – 185 BCE, Plautus, Persa 5.2.8:
