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.

partĭcĭpo, āvi, ātum, 1, v. a. and n. (collat. dep. form partĭcĭpor, Dig. 4, 4, 9, § 1) [id.], to share; viz., to cause to partake of, to impart; and also, to partake of, participate in (in both senses mostly ante- and post-class.; syn.: communico, partior, impertior).

  1. I. To make partaker of, to give a share of, to acquaint with, make privy to, impart, inform of any thing.
    1. A. Lit.: aliquem sermone suo de amicā eri, Plaut. Mil. 2, 2, 108: servum sui consilii, id. Cist. 1, 3, 17: ubi sint, quid agant, ecqui bene agant, Neque participant nos, neque redeunt, id. Stich. 1, 1, 33.
      Pass.: non licet donati obsoni me participem fieri? Ast. Si volebas participari, etc., id. Truc. 4, 2, 34: uti dentes sensu participentur, Lucr. 3, 692: sequitur igitur, ad participandum alium ab alio homines naturā esse factos, Cic. Leg. 1, 12, 33.
    2. B. Transf.: aliquid cum aliquo, to share with, impart to one: suas laudes cum aliquo, Liv. 3, 12, 5; Spart. Hadr. 26.
      With dat. (late Lat.): non participabant aliis ii, quibus aliquid affluebat, Lact. 5, 6, 1.
      Pass.: participato cum eo (fratre) regno, Just. 34, 2, 8: participato imperio, Treb. Gall. 12 init.: nec cum quoquam participatis nocturnis imaginibus, App. M. 8, 9, p. 205, 19.
  2. II. To share in, partake of, participate in any thing: pestem parem, Enn. ap. Cic. Tusc. 2, 17, 39 (Trag. v 22 Vahl.): lucrum, damnum, Dig. 17, 2, 55: consilium alicujus, Mamert. Grat. Act. Jul. init.: ad participandas ejusmodi voluptates, Gell. 15, 2, 7: de uno pane, Vulg. 1 Cor 10, 17.
    With abl. alone: patrio sepulchro participans, Vulg. 2 Macc. 5, 10.
    Hence, partĭcĭpā-tum, i, n. (lit. made to participate; hence), in gram., a participle (post-class.), Mart. Cap. 3, § 227.
