Parsing inflected forms may not always work as expected. If the following does not give the correct word, try Latin Words or Perseus.
clāvĭcŭla, ae, f. dim. [clavis]
- * I. A small key, Caes. Germ. Arat. 195.
- II. A tendril, by which the vine clings to its props, Cic. Sen. 15, 52; id. N. D. 2, 47, 120; Col. 4, 6, 2; Plin. 23, prooem. § 5.
- III. A bar, bolt of the door, Hyg. Grom. 55.
Hence, clāvĭcŭlārĭus, ĭi, m., a key-keeper, jailer, Firm. Math. 3, 66.
