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.

† 1. mōrus, a, um, adj., = μωρός, foolish, silly (Plautin.).

  1. I. Adj.: amor mores hominum moros et morosos facit, Plaut. Trin. 3, 2, 43: ut hoc utimur more moro molestoque, id. Men. 4, 2, 1.
  2. II. Subst.
    1. A. mōrus, i, m., a fool, simpleton: morus es, Plaut. Mil. 3, 1, 78.
    2. B. mōra, ae, f., a foolish woman, Plaut. Mil. 2, 4, 17.
      Hence, adv.: mōrē, foolishly (Plautin.): more hoc fit atque stulte, Plaut. Stich. 5, 1, 1.

† 2. mōrus, i, f., = μῶρα or μορέα, a mulberry-tree: arbor ibi, niveis uberrima pomis, Ardua morus erat, Ov. M. 4, 89; cf. Plin. 16, 18, 30, § 74.
