      1. 1. longē rĕpĕtītus: f. words, vocabula longe r., Cic. de Or. 3, 40, 160 (the comparative would express the meaning more exactly, longius r.; for in the passage quoted there is no notion of censure; so, a f. word, verbum longius ductum, Cic. Brut. 79, 274).
      2. 2. arcessītus: care must be taken that an expression be not thought f., cavendum est ne ar. dictum putetur, Cic. de Or. 2, 63, 256: frigid and f. jokes, frigidi et ar. joci, Suet.
      3. 3. quaesītus: the orator will avoid such (witticisms) as are f., and do not arise out of the occasion, vitabit quaesita, nec ex tempore ficta, Cic. Or. 26, 89: a f., studied, courtesy, qu. comitas, Tac.
      4. 4. affectātus (affected, not coming naturally): things f. and unnatural, af. et parum naturalia, Quint. 11, 3, 10.
