adiunctio
Ἐς δὲ τὰ ἔσχατα νουσήματα αἱ ἔσχαται θεραπεῖαι ἐς ἀκριβείην, κράτισται → For extreme diseases, extreme methods of cure, as to restriction, are most suitable.
Latin > English (Lewis & Short)
adjunctĭo: ōnis, f. adiungo,
I a joining or binding to, a union or conjunction (Cicero; esp. in his rhet. writings).
I In gen.: si haec (sc. φυσικὴ ἡ πρὸς τὰ τέκνα) non est, nulla potest homini esse ad hominem naturae adjunctio, Cic. Att. 7, 2, 4; so, animi, Q. Cic. Pet. Cons. 6, 21.—
II Esp.
A An addition: virtutis, Cic. Fin. 2, 13, 39: verborum, id. Part. Or. 5, 16.—Hence,
B In rhet.
1 A limitation or restriction made by an addition, a limiting or restricting adjunct: esse quasdam cum adjunctione necessitudines ... illic, in superiore, adjunctio (i. e. exceptio) est haec: nisi malint, etc., Cic. Inv. 2, 57, 171.—
2 A figure of speech, acc. to Forcell. = συμπλοκή>, repetition of the same word, Cic. de Or. 3, 54, 206 (as an example, v. Agr. 2, 9: Quis legem tulit? Rullus. Quis majorem partem populi suffragiis prohibuit? Rullus.); acc. to Auct. Her., we have an adjunctio when the verb stands either at the beginning or at the end of a clause, as opp. to conjunctio, i. e. when the verb is interposed amid the words, 4, 27, 38; cf. Quint. 9, 1, 33, and 9, 3, 62.
