dē intus (not comparable) (Late Latin, proscribed)

  1. from within, inside
    • 5th century C.E., Cledonius (Grammatici Latini v.64.22–3)
      De intus et de foris uenio non possumus dicere quia praepositio aduerbiis numquam iungitur.
      We cannot say 'I am coming de intus or de foris' because prepositions never attach to adverbs.
