Latin > English (Lewis & Short)
căprĭ-fīcus: i, f. caper-ficus, goatfig,
I the wild fig-tree: illi ubi etiam caprificus magna est, Ter. Ad. 4, 2, 38; Hor. Epod. 5, 17; Prop. 4 (5), 5, 76; Plin. 16, 25, 40, § 95: arbor, id. 34, 13, 35, § 133; Mart. 10, 2, 9; and in a play upon the word with caper and ficus, Mart. 4, 52, 2. The gall-insect, Cynips psenes, Linn., springing from this tree, ripens by its sting the fruit of the cultivated fig-tree, ficus (cf. Plin. 17, 27, 44, § 256, caprifico and caprificatio); hence poet., in allusion to the fact that the wild fig-tree strikes root in the cracks of stones, etc., and breaks them, Pers. 1, 25; cf. Juv. 10, 145.—
II The fruit of the wild fig-tree, the wild fig, Col. 11, 2, 56; Plin. 11, 15, 15, § 40: caprificus vocatur e silvestri genere ficus numquam maturescens, id. 15, 19, 21, § 79.

caprĭfīcus,¹⁴ ī, f. (caper, ficus), figuier sauvage : Hor. Epo. 5, 17 || les dons naturels qui demandent à se produire au dehors avec la même force que le figuier sauvage qui pousse n’importe où irrésistiblement : Pers. 1, 25 || figue sauvage : Col. Rust. 11, 2, 56.
Latin > German (Georges)
caprifīcus, ī, f. (caper u. ficus), der wilde Feigenbaum, bei den Griechen ερινός), u. seine Frucht, die wilde Feige, Ter., Varr. LL., Prop. u.a.: caprifici arbor, Capitol.: lac caprifici, Cels.: im Wortspiele mit caper u. ficus bei Mart. 4, 52. Merkwürdig durch die auf ihm entstehende Gallwespe (Cynips Psenes, L., bei Plin. 17, 255 culex gen.), die von da zu der zahmen Feige (ficus, συκη) übergeht und durch den Stich in die Substanz des Fruchtbodens (receptaculum) die Befruchtung der Feigen bewirkt. Er wächst in Felsen, die er, im Wachstum zunehmend, sprengt (vgl. Iuven. 10, 144 sq.); dah. poet. vom Sprengmittel der Leber, des Sitzes des Hochmuts, der Ruhmsucht, Pers. 1, 25. – / Genet. Sing. caprificus, Scrib. 175.
