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

măcĭo, āre, v. a. [macies], to make lean, thin, or meagre, to reduce (post-class.): Caspii maris fauces mirum in modum maciantur imbribus, crescunt aestibus, Sol. 15, 18; cf.: macio διακναίω, Gloss. Philox.
