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

infractĭo, ōnis, f. [infringo],

  1. I. a breaking to pieces, Prisc. 1282 P.
  2. II. Trop., a weakening: infractio et demissio animi, despondency, Cic. Tusc. 3, 7, 14.
