Parsing inflected forms may not always work as expected. If the following does not give the correct word, try Latin Words or Perseus.
quādantĕnus or quādamtĕnus (in tmesi, Hor.; v. infra), adv. [quidam-tenus].
- I. To a certain point or limit, so far (poet. and in post-Aug. prose): est quadam prodire tenus, si non datur ultra, Hor. Ep. 1, 1, 32.
- II. Transf., to a certain extent, in some measure, somewhat: citreis odor acerrimus, quadantenus et cotoneis, Plin. 15, 28, 33, § 110: rubens, id. 24, 14, 76, § 124: quae fuerit origo gemmarum diximus quadantenus, id. 37, prooem. 1, § 2: ut noctes nostrae quadamtenus his historiae floscuculis aspergerentur, Gell. 17, 21, 1.
