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.

af-frĭco (better adf-), āre, ui, ātum, v. a., to rub on or against a thing: alicui (only in post-Aug. prose).

  1. I. Lit.: herbae se adfricans, Plin. 8, 27, 41, § 99; so id. 29, 6, 38, § 122: unguedine diu palmulis suis adfricata, App. M. 3, 138 Elm.
  2. II. Trop., to communicate or impart by rubbing: rubiginem suam alicui, Sen. Ep. 7.

* affrictus (adf-), ūs, m. [affrico], a rubbing on or against: Spuma aquae adfrictu verrucas tollit, Plin. 31, 6, 38, § 72.
