Lewis & Short

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

1. affātus (better adf-), Part. of adfari.

2. affātus (better adf-), ūs, m. [adfari], a speaking to or addressing, address (class. only in the poets; later also in prose): quo nunc reginam ambire furentem Audeat adfatu? Verg. A. 4, 284: adfatus reddere, Stat. S. 2, 4, 7; Sen. Med. 187: ora solvere ad adfatus, Sil. 17, 340 al.
In prose, Cod. Just. 5, 4, 23; Cod. Imp. Leo, 1, 26, 6 al.
