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. ēlecto, āre, v. freq. a. [elicio], to get out artfully, worm out a secret (a Plautin. word), Plaut. As. 2, 2, 29; id. Merc. 1, 2, 111; cf.: electabo, eliciam, Paul. ex Fest. p. 76, 6.

* 2. ēlecto, āre, v. freq. a. [eligo], to choose, select: legionem, Plaut. Truc. 2, 6, 27.
