Verb edit

abnoctō (present infinitive abnoctāre, perfect active abnoctāvī, supine abnoctātum); first conjugation, impersonal in the passive (rare, post-Augustan)

to spend or pass the night abroad or away from home, stay out all night
- c. 177 CE, Aulus Gellius, Noctes Atticae 13.12.9:
  […] ac proptereā iūs abnoctandī adēmptum, quoniam, ut vim fierī vetārent, adsiduitāte eōrum et praesentium oculīs opus erat.
  […] and this is why the right of spending the night away was taken away from them [the tribunes of the plebs], because there was need of their work and supervision so that they may veto injustice.
