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

ēlīsĭo, ōnis, f. [elido].

  1. I. A striking out, forcing out: lacrimae, pressing out, Sen. Ep. 99, 18.
  2. II. In the later grammarians, the striking out of a letter, elision.
