Ubi idem et maximus et honestissimus amor est, aliquando praestat morte jungi, quam vita distrahi → Where indeed the greatest and most honourable love exists, it is much better to be joined by death, than separated by life.

Valerius Maximus, De Factis Dictisque

Greek Monolingual

ΜΑ
μτφ. διεγείρω, ερεθίζω λίγο («ἑτέροις ἑτέρων ἔρως ὑπέκνισε φρένας», Πίνδ.)
αρχ.
1. ξύνω λίγο
2. αισθάνομαι κρυφό γαργάλημα, κρυφό ερεθισμό («ἡμεῑς δὲ ἤδη ὧν ἐθεασάμεθα, ἐπιθυμοῡμεν ἅψασθαι, καὶ ἄπιμεν ὑποκνιζόμενοι, καὶ ἀπελθόντες ποθήσομεν», Ξεν.).
[ΕΤΥΜΟΛ. < ὑπ(ο)- + κνίζω «ξύνω, ερεθίζω, ενοχλώ»].
