Etymology edit
Perfect active participle of ōdī (“to hate; dislike”), likewise used in the present active meaning in earlier Latin.
Participle edit
ōsus (feminine ōsa, neuter ōsum); first/second-declension participle
- (Ante-Classical Latin, active voice) Synonym of ōdī
- 1839 [8th century CE], Paulus Diaconus, edited by Karl Otfried Müller, Excerpta ex libris Pompeii Festi De significatione verborum, page 201, line 18:
- Ōsī sunt, ab odiō dēclīnāsse antīquōs testis est C. Gracchus in eā, quae est dē lēge Minuciā, cum ait: 'Mīrum sī quid hīs iniūriae fit; semper eōs ōsī sunt.' Quod nunc quoque cum praepositiōne ēlātum frequēns est, quandō dīcimus semper perōsī.
- That the old authors formed ōsī sunt from odium is witnessed by Gaius Gracchus in his Minucian law speech, when he says: 'It would be remarkable if any injury happens to these people; they've always hated those people.' This word is frequent even now when intensified by a prefix, since we always say perōsī.
- (Late Latin, passive voice, rare, learned) Alternative form of perōsus
