Source etymology: old abl. of sui; cf. 2 se .—After a negative clause and introducing a direct opposition, but, on the contrary, but also, but even, but in fact : Non cauponantes bellum, sed belligerantes, Enn. ap. C.: oti fructus est non contentio animi, sed relaxatio: nemo iudicium reprehendit, sed legem.—Introducing a climax, usu. in the formula, non modo or non solum . . . sed, or sed etiam, not only, not merely . . . but, but also, but even, but indeed : non modo falsum illud esse, sed hoc verissimum: iudicetur non verbo, sed re, non modo non consul, sed etiam hostis Antonius, not only not . . . but even : omnia eius non facta solum, sed etiam dicta meminisset: neque vero se populo solum, sed etiam senatui commisit, neque senatui modo, sed etiam, etc.: multiplicatusque terror non infimis solum, sed primoribus patrum, L.—After non (in the sense of non modo): qui se non opinari, sed scire, non audivisse, sed vidisse dicit: non infimam plebem accendere sed ipsa capita plebis, L.—After ne . . . quidem (more emphatic than non modo): tu porro ne pios quidem, sed piissimos quaeris, I will not say virtuous men, but the most virtuous .—Restrictive, but, yet, however : est ille quidem valde severus, sed abhorret ab huius saeculi licentiā: paulo sedatiore tempore est accusatus, sed eādem fere lege: difficile factu est, sed conabor tamen: plerique patriae, sed omnes famā atque fortunis expertes, S.—In a transition: non impedio, praesertim quoniam feriati sumus. Sed possumus audire aliquid, an serius venimus?: sed ad instituta redeamus: sed, si placet, in hunc diem hactenus.—Often after a parenthesis, but, now, I say : quos Metellus (facio iniuriam viro mortuo), sed ille consul, tum, etc.—With quid autem , in impatient questions: sed quid pertimui autem belua? but why in the world? T.: Sed quid ego hae autem nequiquam ingrata revolvo? V.—With vero, but in fact, but actually : nec iam cum Aq<*>io, sed vero cum Paullis confe. rendum!; cf. sed enim vero cum detestabilis res sit, quid, etc.?

Where interpretation must slow down

  • Historical 1890 Latin dictionary, digitized by the Perseus Digital Library; not a current scholarly consensus or a newly reviewed SET-U analysis.
  • Explicit source etymology notes retain the dictionary's original claims and abbreviations. They are not asserted parent links, and not every entry supplies an origin.
  • Greek quotations in this particular source artifact use legacy Beta Code, preserved verbatim rather than silently converted into Greek Unicode.
  • The source's rare unresolved legacy entity tokens &acutemacr; and &cj; are retained literally. The original raw XML remains the authoritative transcription.
  • English glosses, cited examples and roots do not alone determine a word's contextual meaning. Missing ancestors in this source do not establish the limit of human knowledge.

An old root, gloss or concordance number does not determine the meaning of every later use. A word’s origin and its modern meaning are different questions.

This page does not invent a manuscript attestation, a sound-change sequence, a modern scholarly verdict or a complete ancestor tree. Missing detail is a limit of this source record, not necessarily a limit of scholarship.
