Parsing inflected forms may not always work as expected. If the following does not give the correct word, try Latin Words or Perseus.

ădūlo, āvi, ātum, 1, v. a. (a rare form for adulor; hence Prisc. 791 P. ranks this form, as an exception, among the other active forms of the deponents, adipiscor, admiror, auxilior, etc.; cf. Don. p. 1756 P. and Ars Consent. p. 2054 P.), to fawn like a dog: (canes) gannitu vocis adulant, Luor. 5, 1070: caudā nostrum adulat sanguinem (the eagle), strokes, i. e. wipes off our blood, Cic. poët. ap. Tusc. 2, 10, 24, as trans. of Aeschyl. Prometh. Solut.: Dionysium, Val. Max. 4, 3, ext. 4.
Pass., to be flattered nec adulari nos sinamus, Cic. Off. 1, 26, 91: tribunus militum adulandus erat, Val. M. 2, 7, 15: adulati erant ab amicis, Cass. ap. Prisc. p. 791 P.
