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.

dēfīnītīvē, adv., v. foll. art. fin.

dēfīnītīvus, a, um, adj. [definio].

  1. I. Definitive, explanatory. So in the rhet. lang. of Cicero: constitutio, Inv. 2, 17; cf. ib. 1, 13: causa, id. Top. 24 fin. And in the later jurid. Lat.: sententia, a decisive, definitive sentence, Cod. Just. 7, 45, 3; 7, 64, 10 al.
  2. II. In late Lat. = definitus, definite, distinct, plain: materia, Tert. adv. Herm. 38.
    Adv.: dēfīnītīvē, definitively, plainly, distinctly: pronuntiare, Tert. Car. Christ. 18: loqui, Cael. Aur. Acut. 1 praef.
