aeger

Latin > English (Lewis & Short)

aeger: gra, grum, adj. Curtius proposes to connect it with ἐπ-είγω, to press, drive; αἰγίς, storm-wind; αἶγες, waves; and Sanscr. egāmi, to tremble; trembling, shaking, being a common symptom of illness, designates indisposition, as well of mind as of body (while aegrotus is generally used only of physical disease; class.; in Cic. far more frequent than aegrotus; Celsus uses only aeger, never aegrotus).
I Lit., of the body, ill, sick, unwell, diseased, suffering.

Prisc. p. 725 P.: inops, aegra sanitatis, where, however, Bothe suspects aegra to be a gloss.): memini, me quondam pedes tunc graviter aegrum, Gell. 19, 10.—Subst., a sick person, Cic. Div. 2, 3: ne aegri quidem omnes convalescunt, id. N. D. 2, 4: aegro adhibere medicinam, id. de Or. 2, 44, 186: vicinum funus aegros exanimat, Hor. S. 1, 4, 126: ungebant oleo multos aegros, Vulg.
