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.

dēlēgātĭo, ōnis, f. [delego, no. II.], an assignment, substitution, delegation of one person by another.

  1. I. Prop.: a mancipe, Cic. Att. 12, 3, 2; of one thing for another: delegatione perfecta solutio, Sen. Ben. 6, 5, 2; cf. context.
  2. II. Trop.: necesse est ipse laborem impendas: delegationem res ista non recipit, Sen. Ep. 27, 4.
