A race] racemus, a cluster, is derived from ramus, a branch ; and ramus, a branch, from radix, a root. A race (i. e. a family or nation) is strictly the offspring or generations immediately proceeding from branches, which sprang from some single root or stock, whose name they bear.ln like man- ner as the cluster from the branch, and the branch from the trunk or root. Thus we say, generally, the existing generation is the race of Adam ; and particularly, the Jews are a race belonging to the twelve tribes or branches, which sprung from Israel, the original root or trunk. For this reason I think that the word race is immediately derived from racemus, and not from radix, as stated in most Etymological Dictionaries- Trireme] a Roman vessel with three benches of oars; bireme, two oars, &c.

The Dauphin] the province of Dauphiny, in France, was originally part of the country of the Allobroges, who, joining with Hannibal, were subdued by the Romans about one hundred years before the birth of our Saviour. Upon the declension of the Roman empire, it fell under the dominion of the Goths and other barbarous nations ; but at length, in the reign of Rodolph, the slothful, the counts of Albon made themselves masters of the country. The title of Dauphin is said to have originated in the circumstance of Boson, one of the counts of Albon, who reigned about the ninth century, having caused a dolphin to be painted on his shield as an emblem of the mildness of his reign (these animals being reputed, by the ancients, as friendly to man) ; and about the middle of the 12th century it became a name of dignity, and was annexed to the province. In the year 1343, Humbert, the Dauphin of Vienne, becoming disgusted with life through the loss of his only son, whom he let fall into the river Isere as he was playing with him at a window in his palace at Grenoble, transferred his dominions to Charles, duke of Normandy, grandson to Philip de Valois, king of France, upon condition that the eldest son of France should always bear the title and arms of Dauphin of Vienne. The title of the Dauphin is in Latin delphinus, and his crown is composed of four dolphins ; hence also is derived the term Delphin Classics, being classics compiled for the use of the Dauphin, by command of Louis the Fourteenth.

Sinus signi- fies also the folds of a garment, for a sim:'lar reason, in which sense it occurs in Virgil, JEu. I. 324, sinus fluentes, her flowing folds. Articulation] i. e. the formation or structure of a joint. An article properly signifies a particular part of any complex thing ; thus articulation also signifies distinct utterance, or the pronouncing of words by giving each syllable distinctly.

Hence also is derived pecunia, money, whence pecuniary, so called because on ancient coins was stamped the jf figure of a sheep. 28 ROOT SUBSTANTIVES. ice f. glacies ei whence the glaciers rage /. rabies ei rabid thing / res ei ... a republic - series f. series ei . . a series hope /. spes ei . . to despair - ROOT SUBSTANTIVES.

From latus] latus, joyful, is derived from latus, wide, because the heart is dilated or expanded when joyful. 76 DERIVATIVE ADJECTIVES. robustus a urn robust from robur reus a urn accused . res salvus a um safe . salus securus a um secure; careless . sine-cura torvus a um stem . . torqueo udus a um moist . . uvidus velivolus a um navigable . . velum -volo - venustus a um comely .

From sine and cura] i. e. literally without care, careless : thus in Virgil, "securus amorum germanae, careless of the affections of his sister." From torqueo] torvus, stern, fierce-looking, is derived from tortus, the participle of torqueo, to twist ; being a distortion of the countenance. From velum and volo] literally, that may be gone over with sails, navi- gable. From cresco] creber, frequent, is derived from crevi, the perfect of cresco, to increase, v being mutable to b. Creber signifies frequent in the sense of increasing, as cether micat crebris ignibus, the sether glares with frequent flashes ; i. e. with flashes on flashes : hence also crebeseo, to increase or multiply. From plus and que] plerique is compounded of plus-pluris and que, and: it properly signifies more than the comparative, and less than the super- lative, as, plerique homines, most men, but not all men ; and this significa- tion seems to be borne out by the derivation, through the addition of que, and, to the comparative plus, more. From comes] comis is derived from comes, a companion, and signifies sociable, companionable, agreeable. From humus] humilis strictly signifies creeping along or near to the ground, as applied to plants and shrubs : it therefore comes to signify lowly, meek, &c.

From duo and plico] duplex is compounded of duo, two, and plico, to fold; i. e. two-fold ; hence also multiplication multiplication, or many folds ; simplex, simple, is compouded of sine and plico ; i. e. without a fold. From a and mens] amens, mad, is compounded of the Greek a, signi- fying not, and mens, the mind; i. e. without mind. From de and mens] i. e. out of one's mind. From gens] from the obsolete verb geno-ui-itum, to beget, is derived gens, a nation. The word gens properly signifies the bulk or extent of the people, and in this general sense is used to express a swarm of bees or shoal of fishes, &c. j whence was formed the adjective ingens, signifying very bulky, very extensive, huge, vast, &c. From palus] palans appears originally to have been applied to soldiers, who, when they were sent into the woods to cut stakes for the camp or other works, straggled about. From ex and pars] i. e. without part or portion ; shareless, destitute. From locus and pleo] locuples, wealthy, is applied to one possessed of lands, and is derived from locus, a place, and pletus, the participle of the verb pleo, to fill; literally, full of places. From prae and caput] prceceps, steep, is compounded of pra>, before, and caput, ahead, and literally signifies head foremost; whence prcecipito, to precipitate oneself: caput, when compounded, becomes ceps ; as, biceps, two-headed ; centicevs, hundred-headed ; princeps, the chief head ox prince, &c, &c.

From flagro] flagito signifies to ask or demand clamorously ; to urge to evil. The derivation is obscure, but is supposed to come from flagro, to burn, in the sense of seeking or demanding by aid of inflammatory language. From mola] from mola, a mill, or flour, is derived immolo, to immolate; because it was customary to sprinkle the victim with flour and salt before it was sacrificed. From in and causa] i. e. to bring cause or accusation against one. From integer] i. e. to make whole again. From lux] lucubro strictly signifies to study by candle-light. From ovis] ovo signifies to rejoice in the lesser triumph; i. e. when a victory was obtained without bloodshed ; and is derived from ovis, because a sheep was sacrificed on the occasion. This verb is chiefly used in the present participle.

From teneo] tento properly signifies to feel or sound with the hands or feet, as in exploring an unknown place ; and is a frequentative verb, formed from tentum, the supine of teneo, to hold; because there is, necessarily, a frequent holding or trying. Tento, therefore, also signifies to attempt or venture upon. From traho] tracto is mostly used in the sense of treating on or handling a subject, and being a frequentative verb from tractum, the supine of traho, to draw, implies the being perfectly master of the subject, so as to draw or present it in every point of view. From mica] mico, to shine, is derived from mica, a grain, as of sand, salt, &c. ; because such particles, by reason of their angular shape, glitter on receiving the rays of light. From dis and mica] dimico properly signifies to make the sivords glitter in fight ; hence it is used to express fighting, and is compounded of dis and mico, to shine, which, as above, is derived from mica, a grain. From conus] there is much obscurity about the derivation of this word : some, however, trace it to the word conus, a cone ; because one who seriously endeavours, concentrates or directs his powers, figuratively, in the shape of a cone, that being the firmest figure that can be constructed. From cunctus] the derivation of cunctor is likewise obscure ; but, ac- cording to Festus, this verb primarily signified per cunctaire, to go through all things, which necessarily requiring longer time, the verb came after- wards to signify to tarry, delay, hesitate, &c. 80 DERIVATIVE VERBS. leetor atus sum vel fui to rejoice from laetus mercor atus s. v. f. to purchase . merx minor atus s. v. f. to threaten . minse miror atus s. v. f. to admire . mirus modulor atus s. v. f. to modulate . modus moror atus s. v. f. to delay . mora percontor atus s. v. f. to inquire * * populor atus s. v. f. to depopulate . populus prselior atus s. v. f. to fight . prselium recordor atus s. v. f. to remember . re -cor, din sector atus s. v. f. to follow . sequor testor atus s. v. f. to testify . testis vaticinor atus S.

The verb figuratively signifies to inquire or search into minutely, in much the same sense as the English expression to sound one's thoughts. From in and habeo] i. e. to have or hold in ; to prevent or hinder. From prse and habeo] i. e. to have or set before j to offer. From ob and sedeo] i. e. to sit down before a place.

From magis and volo] i. e. to be rather unwilling. From non and volo] i. e. to be unwilling. From inter and emo] interimo is compounded of inter and emo, to take, and therefore strictly signifies to take away; as "interimere vitam, to take away one's life." Plautus.

From ulcus] the derivation of uleiscor, to revenge, is obscure ; but it is said to be derived from ulcus, eris, an ulcer, or sore wound : whence this verb, signifying to wound deeply. From ad and cio] i. e. to cite to. From e and rudis] i. e. to be out of a rude state. From edo] esurio, to be hungry, is a desiderative verb, formed from esum, the supine of edo, to eat, by changing um into urio; and therefore strictly signifies to desire to eat.

From in and venio] i. e. to come into, to light upon. From mens] mentior, to deceive, or tell a lie, is said to come from mens, the mind; because the deception is previously formed in the mind; and therefore mentior signifies to tell an untruth, knowing it to be such ; whereas dicere mendacium, is to tell an untruth, not knowing it to be such. From ob and perior] opperior is compounded of ob and the obsolete verb perior, to try, or essay, and signifies to wait on purpose in some place where one expects a person to come in order to meet him, and, in so doing, a kind of trial is implied, the issue of which is uncertain. From pos, otis] potior, to enjoy, is derived from pos, potis, powerful, and therefore rather signifies an enjoyment arising from power or possession, as "potitur regno." 85 PREPOSITIONS.
