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

expergo, gi, gĭtum, 3, v. a., to awaken, rouse up (cf. Paul. ex Fest. p. 80 Müll.; ante- and post-class.).

  1. I. Lit.: omnes vocis expergit sono, Santra ap. Non. 104, 16 (Com. 4 Rib. p. 228): expergite pectora tarda sopore, Att. ib.: nec quisquam expergitus exstat, awakens (from death), Lucr. 3, 929; Arn. 5, 1.
  2. II. Transf.: istā re juvenum animos expergebat, Gell. 6, 10, 1: animus expergitus, App. Mag. p. 302.
    Hence, expergĭtē, adv., vigilantly, watchfully, actively: auscultare, App. M. 8 fin.: obire munus, id. ib. 2, p. 125, 6.

ex-spergo or ex-spargo (experg-), no perf., spersus, 3, v. a. [spargo], to sprinkle, scatter abroad, disperse (poet.).
