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.

The word ioculus could not be parsed. Trying a normal dictionary lookup:

jŏcŭlus, i, m. dim. [jocus],

  1. I. a little jest or joke (a favorite word of Plautus): per joculum et ludum oblectare aliquem, Plaut. Truc. 1, 2, 11; usu. in abl. manner: joculo dicere aliquid, to say a thing in jest, id. Merc. 5, 4, 33: Egone te joculo modo ausim dicto aut facto fallere? id. Most. 3, 3, 20; id. Rud. 3, 4, 24.
  2. II. Concr.: jŏ-cŭli, ōrum, m., toys, playthings, Vitr. 4, 1, 9.
