|lshtext=<b>ōrātĭo</b>: ōnis, f. oro,<br /><b>I</b> a [[speaking]], [[speech]], [[discourse]], [[language]]<br /><b>I</b> In gen., the [[connection]] of words to [[express]] [[thought]]: non est [[autem]] in verbo [[modus]] hic, sed in oratione, id est, in continuatione verborum, Cic. 3, 42, 167.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<b>1</b>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Speech, the [[power]] or [[faculty]] of [[speech]], the [[habit]] or [[use]] of [[language]]: quae (ferae) sunt rationis et orationis expertes, Cic. Off. 1, 16, 50: [[natura]] vi rationis hominem conciliat homini et ad orationis et ad vitae societatem, id. ib. 1, 4, 12.—<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<b>2</b>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Speech, [[language]], [[utterance]]; opp. to [[fact]], [[action]], etc.: [[lenitudo]] orationis, [[mollitudo]] corporis, Cic. Tusc. 5, 16, 46: idque [[videns]] [[Epicurus]] re tollit, oratione relinquit deos, id. N. D. 1, 44, 123: qui sunt leves locutores ... eorum orationem [[bene]] existimatum est in [[ore]] nasci, non in pectore, Gell. 1, 15, 1: nam [[quid]] te [[igitur]] rettulit beneficum esse oratione, si ad rem [[auxilium]] emortuum est, Plaut. Ep. 1, 2, 19: ut in vitā, sic in oratione, [[nihil]] est difficilius [[quam]] [[quid]] deceat videre, Cic. Or. 21, 70: [[qualis]] [[homo]] [[ipse]] esset, talem ejus esse orationem; orationi [[autem]] facta similia, factis vitam, id. Tusc. 5, 16, 47: partes [[igitur]] orationis [[secundum]] dialecticos duae, [[nomen]] et [[verbum]], parts of [[speech]], Prisc. 2, 4, 15.—<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<b>3</b>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Hence, a [[mode]] of [[speaking]]; a [[kind]], [[manner]], [[style]] of [[speech]]; [[language]]: [[quin]] tu istanc orationem [[hinc]] veterem [[atque]] antiquam amoves. Nam proletario sermone [[nunc]] utere, Plaut. Mil. 3, 1, 155: nam opulenti cum loquuntur [[pariter]] [[atque]] ignobiles, [[eadem]] dicta eademque [[oratio]] aequa non [[aeque]] valet, Enn. ap. Gell. 11, 4, 3: [[quam]] [[tibi]] ex [[ore]] orationem [[duriter]] dictis dedit, id. ap. Non. p. 512, 8: aliam [[nunc]] mihi orationem despoliato praedicas, Plaut. As. 1, 3, 52: [[Creta]] est [[profecto]] horum hominum [[oratio]], [[quam]] orationem hanc aures [[dulce]] devorant, id. Poen. 5, 2, 9: (Andria et Perinthia) non ita sunt dissimili argumento, sed [[tamen]] Dissimili oratione, Ter. And. prol. 11.—Esp. (in gram.): [[oratio]] obliqua, [[indirect]] [[speech]], the [[use]] of [[dependent]] clauses in citing the [[language]] of others: [[quam]] (orationem) obliquam [[Pompeius]] Trogus exposuit (opp. to conciones directae), Just. 38, 3, 11.—Hence,<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<b>4</b>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Mode of [[speech]], [[language]], [[use]] of [[language]], [[style]]: [[mollis]] est [[enim]] [[oratio]] philosophorum, Cic. Or. 19, 64: (fabulae) tenui oratione et scripturā levi, Ter. Phorm. prol. 5: ut Stoicorum est astrictior [[oratio]] aliquantoque contractior, [[quam]] aures populi requirunt, sic illorum (Peripateticorum) liberior et latior, [[quam]] patitur [[consuetudo]] judiciorum et [[fori]], Cic. Brut. 31, 120: orationem Latinam efficies [[profecto]] legendis nostris pleniorem, id. Off. 1, 1, 2; cf. id. ib. 1, 1, 1.—<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<b>5</b>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Esp., the [[language]] of [[any]] [[people]] or [[nation]]: [[Timaeus]] in historiis quas oratione Graecā composuit, Gell. 11, 1, 1: [[semper]] cum Graecis Latina (exempla) conjunxi ... ut [[par]] sis in utriusque orationis facultate, Cic. Off. 1, 1, 1.—<br /><b>II</b> In partic., [[formal]] [[language]], [[artificial]] [[discourse]], [[set]] [[speech]] (opp. to [[sermo]], [[ordinary]] [[speech]], conversational [[language]]): [[mollis]] est [[oratio]] philosophorum et [[umbratilis]], nec verbis instructa popularibus nec vincta numeris, sed soluta liberius: [[itaque]] [[sermo]] potiusquam [[oratio]] dicitur. Quamquam [[enim]] [[omnis]] [[locutio]] [[oratio]] est, [[tamen]] unius oratoris [[locutio]] hoc [[proprio]] dignata nomine est, Cic. Or. 19, 64; cf.: et [[quoniam]] magna vis orationis est eaque [[duplex]], altera contentionis, altera sermonis, [[contentio]] disceptationibus tribuatur judiciorum, contionum, [[senatus]], [[sermo]] in circulis, disputationibus, congressionibus familiarium versetur, sequatur [[etiam]] convivia, id. Off. 1, 37, 132.—Hence,<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<b>B</b> A [[set]] [[speech]], [[harangue]], [[discourse]], [[oration]]: ([[oratio]]) ut [[gravis]], ut [[suavis]], ut erudita [[sit]], ut [[liberalis]], ut polita, ut [[sensus]], ut doloris habeat [[quantum]] [[opus]] [[sit]], non est singulorum articulorum: in toto spectantur haec corpore, etc., Cic. de Or. 3, 25, 96; cf. the context: illam orationem disertam sibi et oratoriam videri, fortem et virilem non videri, id. ib. 1, 54, 231: hanc habere orationem [[mecum]] [[principio]] institit, Ter. Hec. 3, 3, 21: pleraeque scribuntur orationes habitae jam, non ut habeantur, Cic. Brut. 24, 91: non est haec [[oratio]] habenda [[apud]] imperitam multitudinem, id. Mur. 29, 61: [[ignarus]] faciundae ac poliendae orationis, id. de Or. 1, 14, 63: in orationibus hisce ipsis judiciorum, contionum, [[senatus]], id. ib. 1, 16, 73: quanta [[illa]], di immortales, fuit [[gravitas]], quanta in oratione majestas! sed adfuistis, et est in manibus [[oratio]], id. Lael. 25, 96: qui orationem [[adversus]] rem publicam habuissent, eorum bona in publicum adducebat, Caes. B. C. 2, 18, 5: ab adulescentiā confecit orationes, Nep. Cat. 3, 3: Catonis aliae acerbae orationes [[extant]], etc., Liv. 39, 42, 6: [[oratio]] plebi acceptior, id. 3, 69: accurata et polita, Cic. Brut. 95, 326: longa, Liv. 34, 5: acris et [[vehemens]], Quint. 5, 13, 25: [[admirabilis]], Cic. de Or. 3, 25, 94: angusta et concisa, opp. collata et diffusa, id. Or. 56, 187: aspera, [[tristis]], horrida, [[neque]] perfecta [[neque]] conclusa, opp. [[laevis]] et structa et terminata, id. ib. 5, 20: circumcisa et [[brevis]], Plin. Ep. 1, 20, 4: rotunda et [[undique]] circumcisa, Quint. 8, 5, 27: cohaerens, Cic. de Or. 3, 44, 173: concinna, id. ib. 3, 25, 98: [[stabilis]], opp. [[volubilis]], id. Or. 56, 187.—<br /><b>III</b> Transf.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<b>A</b> The [[power]] of [[oratory]], [[eloquence]]: tantam vim habet [[illa]], quae recte a bono poëtā dicta est, flexamina [[atque]] omnium [[regina]] rerum [[oratio]], ut non [[modo]] inclinantem excipere aut stantem inclinare, sed [[etiam]] adversantem ac repugnantem ut [[imperator]] [[fortis]] ac [[bonus]] capere possit, Cic. de Or. 2, 44, 187: [[satis]] in eo fuisse orationis [[atque]] ingenii, id. Brut. 45, 165: non [[enim]] verendum est ne te in tam bonā causā deficiat [[oratio]], Lact. 2, 3.—<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<b>B</b> Prose (opp. to [[poetry]]): et in poëmatis et in oratione, Cic.
