Latin > English (Lewis & Short)
pŭto: āvi, ātum, 1, v. a. root pu, to cleanse; whence putus, puteus, purus, etc.,
I to clean, cleanse (in the lit. sense very rare; in the trop. very freq.).
I Lit.
A In gen.: vellus lavare ac putare, Varr. R. R. 2, 2, 18: pensa lana putata, Titin. ap. Non. 369, 22: dolia, Cato, R. R. 39, 1 dub. (al. picare): aurum quoque putatum dici solet, id est expurgatum, Paul. ex Fest. s. v. putus, p. 216 Müll.—
B In partic., to trim, prune, or lop trees or vines: vineas arboresque falce putare, Cato, R. R. 32 init.; 33, 1: vitem, Verg. G. 2, 407; Just. 43, 4, 2: parcendum vitibus et ideo anguste putandum, Col. 4, 24, 21; id. Arb. 10, 1; Pall. 3, 12, 1; cf.: putatae vites et arbores, quod decisis impedimentis remanerent purae, Paul. ex Fest. p. 216 Müll.; so, too, in the foll., the passage from Gell. 6, 5, 6: olivetum, Cato, R. R. 44: arborem latius, strictius, Pall. 1, 6: vineam, Vulg. Lev. 25, 3; id. Isa. 5, 6.—
II Trop., to clear up, set in order; to arrange, settle, adjust.
A In gen.: rationem or rationes, to hold a reckoning, reckon together, settle accounts: putare veteres dixerunt vacantia ex quāque re ac non necessaria aut etiam obstantia et aliena auferre et excidere, et, quod esset utile ac sine vitio videretur, relinquere. Sic namque arbores et vites et sic etiam rationes putari dictum, Gell. 6, 5, 6 sq.: vilicus rationem cum domino crebro putet, Cato, R. R. 5, 3: rationes, id. ib. 2, 5: putatur ratio cum argentario, Plaut. Aul. 3, 5, 52: rationes cum publicanis putare, Cic. Att. 4, 11, 1: ideo ratio putari dicitur in quā summa fit pura, Varr. L. L. 5, 9.—
2 Transf.: quom eam mecum rationem puto, think over, consider, Plaut. Cas. 3, 2, 25.—
B In partic.
1 To reckon, count, compute a thing: colliciares (tegulae) pro binis putabuntur, will be counted, Cato, R. R. 14, 4; cf.: si numerus militum potius quam legionum putatur, Tac. H. 3, 2.—
2 Transf.
a To believe in, regard: id ipsum est deos non putare, quae ab iis significantur contemnere, Cic. Div. 1, 46, 104.—
b To reckon, value, estimate, esteem a thing as any thing (= aestimare): aliquid denariis quadringentis, Cic. Verr. 2, 4, 7, § 13: magni putare honores, id. Planc. 4, 11: cum unum te pluris quam omnes illos putem, id. Att. 12, 21, 5: parvi, Cat. 23, 25: tantique putat conubia nostra, Ov. M. 10, 618.—
