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.

interpŏlis, e, and interpŏlus, a, um, adj. [inter-polio], that has received a new appearance, altered by furbishing, polished up, vamped up, repaired; esp., falsified, painted, not genuine (ante-class. and post-Aug.).

  1. I. Lit., Plin. 19, 2, 8, § 29: si vestimenta interpola quis pro novis emerit, Dig. 18, 1, 45.
  2. II. Transf.: istaec veteres (mulieres), quae se unguentis unctitant, interpoles, Plaut. Most. 1, 3, 117: mutatur ars quotidie, toties interpolis, new vamped, Plin. 29, 1, 5, § 11.
