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.

insĭdĭor, ātus, 1, v. dep. (act. form insidiaverint for insidiati erunt, Dig. 48, 19, 28, § 11) [insidiae], to lie in ambush, lie in wait for; constr. with dat.

  1. I. Lit.: quam diu mihi, Catilina, insidiatus es, Cic. Cat. 1, 5, 11: apris, Mart. 12, 14, 10: in legatis insidiandis, Cic. Cael. 21, 51.
  2. II. Trop.: somno maritorum, Cic. Cat. 1, 10, 26: tempori, to watch for, seize upon the favorable moment, Liv. 23, 35, 15: temporibus, to watch the changes of the times, to turn them to one’s own advantage, Vell. 2, 21.
