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

  1. I. Joint by joint, limb by limb, piecemeal: aliquem concidere, Plaut. Ep. 3, 4, 52: membra (pueri) articulatim dividit, poët. ap. Cic. N. D. 3, 26, 67; cf. Planck, Eur. Medea, p. 102: comminuere articulatim diem, Plaut. Fragm. ap. Gell. 3, 3, 5.
  2. II. Trop., of discourse, properly divided (v. articulus, II. A.); hence, clearly, distinctly, point by point: verba discernere articulatim, Lucr. 4, 555: aliquid explicare, Varr. L. L. 10, 4, 179: aliquid articulatim distincteque dicere, * Cic. Leg. 1, 13, 36.
