      1. 1. mōtus, ūs: to revolve with an opposite m. to ..., contrario m. versari quam ..., Cic. Rep. 6, 17: he imparted m. to the heavens, m. coelo dedit, id. Tim. 6.
      2. 2. mōtio (a less freq. term than motus: the mere act of moving): the m. and gesture of bodies, corporum m. atque gestus, Cic. N. D. 2, 58, 145. (Motio corresponds to motus as the verbal subs. moving to motion or movement.)

      5. 5. very often expr. by verb: e. g. to set in m., movere; to be in m., moveri: the moon has no m., and is the lowest (star), luna neque movetur et infima est, Cic. Rep. 6, 17: this is the source of (their) m., hic fons, hoc principium movendi est, ib. 25 (v. to move): to be put in m. by an external cause, pulsu agitari externo, ib. 26.

      2. 2. sententia (an opinion formally expressed; esp. in the senate): cf. Cic. Att. 4, 1, accurate sententiam dixi; factum est senatus-consultum in meam sententiam, i. e. according to my m.: the senate adopted the m. of Cato, senatus in Catonis s. discessit, Sall. Cat. 55, init. Phr.: to make a m.: (1). fĕro, tŭli, lātum, 3., irr. (to bring forward a matter; esp. before the people): to bring forward a m. in the assembly of the people, that ..., f. ad populum, ut ..., Cic.
