Parsing inflected forms may not always work as expected. If the following does not give the correct word, try Latin Words or Perseus.
offenso, āvi, ātum, 1, v. freq. a. [1. offendo], to strike or dash against (not in Cic. or Caes.).
- I. Lit.: sponte suā offensando ut semina rerum, Lucr. 2, 1059; so id. 6, 1053: omnes offensare capita, dash their heads against the wall, Liv. 25, 37.
- II. Trop., to stumble, trip, falter in speaking, Quint. 10, 7, 10.
(Offensatus, Quint. 10, 3, 20, is a false reading for offensator, q.v.).
