Outline
• dead (adj.):
    1. I. Lit.: without life; of persons:
      1. 1. mortŭus (part. of morior): to bury a dead person (body), hominem m. sepelire, XII. Tab. ap. Cic.: to raise from the d., a mortuis excitare, Cic. The compound forms ēmortuus, dēmortuus also occur: the former is rare, and does not differ from the simple word: for demortuus, v. deceased: half d., sēmĭmortuus, Cat.
      2. 2. exănĭmus, exănĭmis, e: v. lifeless.
      3. 3. dēfunctus (strictly with ellipsis of vita: having done with life: so Virg.: later writers use the word absol.): a d. body, corpus d., Curt.: Ov.: Plin.
      4. 4. exstinctus: Juv. Phr.: the d. (after a battle), interfecti, occisi, jacentes: v. slain: the d. as departed spirits, mānes, ium; umbrae: v. shades: to rise from the d., ab inferis exsistere, Cic.: nearly d., in the article of death, mŏrĭbundus: v. dying: I am a d. man! perii, occĭdi! Pl.; interii, Ter.
    2. II. By analogy; of things:
      1. 1. mortuus: d. flowers, m. flores, Plin.: d. thews (i. e. void of muscular power), m. lacerti, Cic.: d. laws, leges m., Cic.
      2. 2. ēmortuus: a d. fetus, partus e., Plin.: d. flesh, caro e., Col.
      3. 3. dēmortuus (cf. deceased): in the room of d. trees, in locum arborum d., Paul. Dig.: Cels.
      4. 4. mortĭcīnus (of that which dies of itself): fishes found d., m. pisces, Varr. Phr.: d. flesh, caro hebes, Cels. (see also supr.): a d. language, *lingua quae ex vita et consuetudine communi abiit; l. solis literarum monumentis servata, Wyttenb. ap. Kr.: *l. cujus periit loquendi usus: Latin is now a d. language, *non jam ad loquendi usum adhibetur lingua Latina (Kr. recommends lingua mortua, after the anal. of Cic.'s leges mortuae, i. e. laws which are a d. letter, but the phr. seems of questionable propriety): a d. calm: tanta malacia ac tranquillitas ut se ex loco movere (naves) non possint, Caes.: a d. sleep, somnus artissimus, Cic.: in the d. of the night, nocte intempesta, Sall.
    3. III. Of civil death: capite deminutus: Liv.
    4. IV. Fig.: dull, wanting in vigour or animation, etc.: Phr.: all zeal seems d., *periere hominum studia; marcent (languent) omnia: the mind is d., the body sluggish, animus marcet, corpus torpet, Cels.: to be d. to shame, posuisse pudorem, Mart.: a d. joke, frigidus jocus, Cic.: v. dull, lifeless.
