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.

colluctātĭo (conl-), ōnis, f. [colluctor], a wrestling, struggling, contending with something (post-Aug. prose).

  1. I. Prop.: in colluctatione vel pancratio, Dig. 9, 2, 7; so of the fighting of oxen, Col. 6, 2, 4.
  2. II. Trop., the death struggle, Sen. Q. N. 3, 18, 1.
    Of an embracing in love, App. M. 9, p. 219, 12; Lact. 1, 17.
    Of a difficult utterance: est aliis concursus oris et cum verbis suis colluctatio, Quint. 11, 3, 56.
