INCLINE Copy link • INCLINETRANS., PROPR., inclinare (mostly poetical and post-Augustan prose; to bend downward or to one side). IMPROPR., inclinare (very rare: this inclines me to believe, haec animum inclinant, ut credam, Liv., 29, 30, 10): inducere (e.g., ad credendum, Nep.; ad misericordiam, Cic.): adducere (e.g., ad credendum, Nep.; in metum, in spem, Cic.; but both inducere and adducere are stronger than incline). INTRANS., inclinare (Lucr.). Vid: LEAN.
