Etymology edit

From ob- +‎ cubō (lie down, rest).

Pronunciation edit

Verb edit

occubō (present infinitive occubāre, perfect active occubuī, supine occubitum); first conjugation

  1. to lie or fall in, on, or down, especially in the grave; rest, repose
    • 8 CE, Ovid, Fasti 6.363–364:
      ‘vīdimus ōrnātōs aerāta per ātria picta
      veste triumphālēs occubuisse senēs’
      “We have seen [them], adorned in their embroidered [robes], fallen dead throughout the bronze-covered halls: [those] oft-honored old veterans.”
      (The poetic voice of Mars is addressing Jupiter. The Gauls, having invaded Rome, have attacked elderly veterans who had had military triumphs, “senēs triumphālēs”; these vets were dressed in their symbolic garments, “ōrnātōs picta”; and it happened throughout the halls of state, “per ātria aerāta”. In other words, such enemy brutality is an affront to human dignity and Roman honor.)
