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.

exoptātus, a, um, Part. and P. a., from exopto.

ex-opto, āvi, ātum, 1, v. a., to wish or desire greatly, to long for a thing (class.).

        1. (α) With acc.: quae majori parti pulcherrima videntur, ea maxime exoptant, Cic. Off. 1, 32, 118: Samnitium adventum, Liv. 9, 25, 5: illum exoptavit potius? Plaut. Bacch. 3, 4, 3: aliquid, id. As. 3, 3, 133: omnes te oderunt, tibi pestem exoptant, wish you, Cic. Pis. 40, 96.
        2. (β) With inf.-clause as object: multis de causis te exopto quam primum videre, Cic. Fam. 4, 6, 3: aemulari neglegentiam alicuius, Ter. And. prol. 20 (but not in Enn. Ann., where the better read. is laudarier optans, v. Vahl. p. 80).
        3. (γ) With ut: omnium hominum exopto ut fiam miserorum miserrimus, Plaut. Men. 5, 2, 65: ut sempiternae laudi tibi sit iste tribunatus exopto, Cic. Fam. 2, 7, 1.
        4. (δ) Absol.: neque nobis cupientibus atque exoptantibus fructus otii datus est, Cic. de Or. 1, 1, 2.
          Hence, exoptātus, a, um, P. a., greatly wished or desired, longed for: edepol me uxori exoptatum credo adventurum domum, Plaut. Am. 2, 2, 22; id. Truc. 2, 6, 33; id. Capt. 5, 4, 9; id. Curc. 2, 3, 27: Antiphila, maxume animo exoptata meo, Ter. Heaut. 2, 4, 28: ut exoptatum inimico nuntium primus adferret, Cic. Rosc. Am. 7, 19: erit et tibi exoptatum optinget, Plaut. Mil. 4, 2, 20; id. As. 3, 3, 136.
          Comp.: nihil exoptatius adventu meo, Cic. Att. 5, 15, 1.
          Sup.: o mi ere exoptatissume, Plaut. Trin. 4, 3, 65: gratulatio, Cic. Att. 4, 1, 2.
          Adv. seems not to occur.
