I now, at present, at this time (prop of that which is present to the speaker or writer).
A In gen.
1 Contrasted with past time (opp. tum, tunc, antea, quondam, aliquando, olim, etc.): longe aliam, inquam, praebes nunc atque olim, Plaut. As. 1, 3, 53; Ter. Heaut. 2, 1, 4: alium esse censes nunc me atque olim, id. And. 3, 3, 13: omnia, quae sunt conclusa nunc artibus, dispersa quondam fuerunt, Cic. de Or 1, 42, 187: sed tu illum animum nunc adhibe, quaeso, quo me tum esse oportere censebas, id. Fam. 6, 1, 16; Ter. Ad. 1, 2, 24; Verg. A. 6, 776: sed erat tunc excusatio oppressis; nunc nulla est, Cic. Phil. 7, 5, 14; Liv. 4, 34, 6; 4, 25, 13: arx minus aliquanto nunc munita quam antea, Cic.

Ac. 1, 1, 3.—
2 Contrasted with future time (opp. postea, mox, olim, etc.): Cluentio nisi nunc satisfecero, postea satisfaciendi potestas non erit, Cic. Clu. 4, 10; Liv. 39, 19, 6: deos nunc testes esse, mox fore ultores, id. 3, 2, 4; 3, 25, 8: qui olim nominabitur, nunc intellegitur, Quint. 10, 1, 104; Verg. A. 4, 627; cf. Liv. 40, 15, 4.—

Capt. 5, 4, 21: Marcellus, qui nunc aedilis curulis est, Cic. de Or. 1, 13, 57.— With the interrog. ne, in the form nun-cine (for num-ce-ne; ante-class.): hem, nuncin demum? Ter. And. 4, 1, 59.—
B Strengthened by demum, denique, primum (v. h. vv.): nunc demum intellego, Plaut. Mil. 2, 6, 62; Ter. Heaut. 2, 3, 12: nunc demum rescribo his litteris, Cic.

A. 3, 121: nunc, quam rem oratum huc veni, primum proloquar, Plaut. Am. prol. 50; 2, 2, 63; 2, 2, 52: nunc primum hoc aures tuae crimen accipiunt? Cic. Verr. 2, 2, 8, § 24; 2, 2, 60, § 147: hoc quoque propter tuos ternos denarios nunc primum postulatur, id. ib. 2, 3, 25, § 63.—
C In special phrases.
1 Ut nunc est, as things now are, in the present state of affairs, as matters stand: constitui, ut nunc est, cum exercitu proficisci, Poll. ap. Cic. Fam. 9, 31, 17: quae (causae) si manebunt ... et, ut nunc est, mansurae videntur, Cic. Att. 12, 29, 1: suaviter, ut nunc est, inquam, Hor. S. 1, 9, 5.—
2 Qui nunc sunt, the men of this time, those now living, the present age: judiciis, qui nunc sunt. hominum, Cic. ad Q. Fr. 1, 1, 15, § 43; Plin. 22, 25, 71, § 147; cf.: tace stulta: non tu nunc hominum mores vides? of the men of this day, Plaut. Pers. 3, 1, 57.—
3 Nunc ipsum, just now, at this very time: quin nunc ipsum non dubitabo rem tantam abicere si id erit rectius, Cic. Att. 7, 3, 2; 8, 9, 2; 12, 40, 2: nunc tamen ipsum, id. ib. 12, 16, 11.—Nunc repeated with emphasis: nunc, nunc o liceat crudelem abrumpere vitam, Verg. A. 8, 579 (al. nunc o nunc); 5, 189: nunc, nunc adeste, nunc in hostiles domos Iram vertite, Hor. Epod. 5, 53.—
II Transf.
A Of past or future time, conceived as present, now, at that time.
