nūgĭvendus: i, m. nugae-vendo,
I a dealer in female finery: ubi nugivendis res solutast omnibus, Plaut. Aul. 3, 5, 51: nugivendos Plautus dici voluit omnes eos qui aliquid mulieribus vendant. Nam omnia quibus matronae utuntur nugas voluit adpellari, Plautus in Aulularia, etc.; Non. 144, 29 sq. (But the best MSS. of Plautus read nugigerulis, Wagn. ad loc.)>
