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. prae-mando, āvi, ātum, 1, v. a.

  1. I. To order or command beforehand; with ut (very rare): ut conquireretur, praemandavi, Vatin. ap. Cic. Fam. 5, 9, 2.
  2. II. To order or procure beforehand: puerum aut puellam, Plaut. Truc. 2, 4, 49.
    Hence, subst.: praemandāta, ōrum, n., a warrant for the apprehension of an accused person: emissus e carcere: idem postea praemandatis requisitus, Cic. Planc. 12, 31.

2. prae-mando, ĕre, v. a., to chew beforehand; trop., to explain accurately and clearly (post-class.): aliquid alicui, Gell. 4, 1, 11.
