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. textus, a, um, Part. of texo.

2. textus, ūs, m. [texo, I. B.], texture, tissue, structure (poet. and in post-Aug. prose).

  1. I. Lit.: haec sunt tenuia textu, Lucr. 4, 728: capiuntur purpurae parvulis rarique textu, Plin. 9, 37, 61, § 132; 18, 7, 10, § 60.
  2. II. Trop., of language, construction, combination, connection, context, Quint. 9, 4, 13; 8, 6, 57: rem brevi textu percurram, Amm. 15, 7, 6: ut ostendit textus superior, id. 15, 8, 1: quod contra foederum textum juvarentur Armeniae, id. 27, 12, 18: gestorum, id. 27, 12, 11; Manil. 3, 270.
