Pronunciation edit

Noun edit

cēra f (genitive cērae); first declension

  1. wax, beeswax, honeycomb
    • 8 CE, Ovid, Fasti 3.747–748:
      audit in exēsa strīdōrem exāminis ulmō,
      aspicit et cērās dissimulatque senex
      [Silenus] hears the buzzing of a swarm in a hollowed-out elm tree,
      and the old man can see the honeycombs, yet he dissimulates [pretends as if he has found nothing].
      (Ovid's word play relates the ‘‘exesus’’ – the tree's ‘‘having been consumed’’ – with the ‘‘examen’’ or swarm, which Silenus mistakenly assumes are bees; instead, moments later when he looks inside the tree he is attacked by hornets.)
  2. a wax seal
  3. a wax image
