Parsing inflected forms may not always work as expected. If the following does not give the correct word, try Latin Words or Perseus.
2. lēvo (laevo), āvi, ātum, 1, v. a. [2. levis], to make smooth, to smooth, polish.
- I. Lit.: levare ac radere tigna, Lucr. 5, 1267: corpus, * Cic. Fragm. Or. in Clod. et Cur. 5; Cels. 8, 3: magni levatique mensarum orbes, Sen. Helv. 11, 6: mensas, Stat. Th. 1, 519.
- II. Trop., of speech, to smooth down, polish, soften: nimis aspera sano Levabit cultu, Hor. Ep. 2, 2, 123.
Hence, P. a.: lēvātus, a, um; comp.: quae levatiora levioraque sunt, more highly polished, Gell. 17, 8, 15.
