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

uncĭātim, adv. [uncia], by twelfths, by ounces.

  1. * I. Lit.: (axungia) datur et phthisicis unciatim, cum vini veteris hemina decocta, donec tres unciae e toto restent, Plin. 28, 9, 37, § 139.
  2. * II. Transf., by a little at a time, little by little: quod ille unciatim vix de demenso suo … comparsit miser, Ter. Phorm. 1, 1, 9.
