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.

fosso, āvi, ātum, 1, v. freq. a. [fodio], to dig, pierce (ante-and post-class.): corpora telis, Enn. ap. Varr. L. L. 7, § 100 (Ann. v. 569 ed. Vahl.).
Hence,

    1. 1. fossātum, i, n., a ditch, fosse, Pall. Sept. 13; Capitol. Gord. 28; Veg. Mil. 4, 16.
    2. 2. fossātus, i, m., a boundary, Auct. Rei Agr. p. 254 and 267 Goes.
