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

rĕ-mulcĕo, si, sum, 2, v. a., to stroke back (poet. and rare).

  1. I. Lit.: caudam, i. e. to droop, Verg. A. 11, 812: aures, to stroke gently, App. M. 1, p. 103, 8: crines, id. Flor. 2, p. 350, 39.
  2. II. Trop., to soothe: minas stimulataque corda remulce, Stat. Th. 8, 93: animos dulcissimis modulis, to delight, App. M. 5, p. 165, 8.
