displiceo

Latin

Etymology

From dis- +‎ placeō.

Pronunciation

• (Classical) IPA^(key): /disˈpli.ke.oː/, [d̪ɪs̠ˈplʲɪkeoː]
• (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA^(key): /disˈpli.t͡ʃe.o/, [d̪isˈpliːt͡ʃeo]

Verb

displiceō (present infinitive displicēre, perfect active displicuī, supine displicitum); second conjugation

1. to displease (with dative)
   • 8 CE – 12 CE, Ovid, Sorrows 1.49–50:

     dēnique sēcūrus fāmae, liber, īre mementō,
     nec tibi sit lectō displicuisse pudor.

     Lastly, [my] book, you [must] remember to go untroubled by [my] reputation; nor should you be ashamed, by having been read, to be displeasing.
     (The exiled poet addresses his new book as if it is a living emissary; Ovid's tarnished reputation may color the book’s reception back in Rome.)

2. to be displeased

   Antonyms: gaudeō, placeō, ovō, grātulor, congrātulor, exhilarō, fruor
