• amplify: now used only in sense, to enlarge rhetorically; to dilate upon: dīlāto, 1: what is thus a.'d by us, Zeno thus condensed, quae dilatantur a nobis, Zeno sic premebat, Cic.: to a. an argument, argumentum d., Cic.: Quint.: v. to enlarge.--(Note. Amplifico appears never to mean simply to expand, enlarge, but rather to magnify, exalt a subject: q. v.). Phr.: to a. a subject, aliquid uberius disputare et fusius; de aliqua re copiose dīcere, Cic.
