sesqui ADV :: one and a half times/more; more by half

Latin > English (Lewis & Short)

sesquĭ: (sesque),
I num. adv. [perh. contr. from semis-qui], one half more, more by a half. As a separate word it occurs only once: ut necesse sit partem pedis aut aequalem alteri parti aut altero tanto aut sesqui esse majorem (just after, sesquiplex), Cic. Or. 56, 188. But freq. joined in one word with designations of number or quantity, with the signif. of once and a half. Joined with numerals (octavus and tertius), like the Gr. ἐπί (in ἐπόγδοος, ἐπίτριτος, etc.), it denotes an integer and such a fraction over as the numeral designates; v. sesquioctavus, etc.

Latin > French (Gaffiot 2016)

sēsquĭ (semis), [adv. employé surtout en compos.], dans un rapport sesquialtère, un demi en plus : Cic. Or. 188.

Latin > German (Georges)

sēsqui, Adv. num. (semis u. qui), ein halbmal-, um die Hälfte mehr, sesqui maior, um die Hälfte größer, Cic. or. 188. – so auch in der Zusammensetzung mit Substantiven, wie sesquicyathus etc. – und in der Zusammensetzung mit einem Zahlworte (wie επί in επόγλοος, επίτριτος) die Zugabe eines solchen kleinsten Bruchteils, als die Einheit des folgenden Zahlwortes gleiche Bruchteile enthält, s. sesquialter, sesquioctavus, sesquitertius.

Latin > Chinese

sesqui. adj. comp. :: 一倍半
