• most (adj.):
      1. 1. plūrĭmus (either absolutely, very much or many; or relatively, the most): of this deity there are m. images, hujus sunt p. simulacra, Caes. B. G. 6, 17: Cic. When quantity is indicated, the nom. and acc. sing. neut. are often used subs.: far the m. toil and utility, laboris et utilitatis longe plurimum, Quint. 10, 3, 1. The gen. plurimi is also used subs.: to possess what is of m. value, id quod plurimi est possidere, Cic. Par. 6, 2, fin.
      2. 2. maxĭmus: esp. in phr., for the m. part, chiefly, maximam partem, Caes. B. G. 4, 1: Cic.
      3. 3. plērusque, plērăque, plērumque (usu. in pl.): m. money-dealers have this way, habent hunc morem p. argentarii, Pl. Curc. 3, 7: strengthened by omnes: m. young men, p. omnes adolescentuli, Ter. Andr. 1, 1, 28. But plerique oft. denotes nothing more than a good many: cf. Cic. Inv. 1, 36, 65, multi nihil prodesse philosophiam, plerique etiam obesse arbitrantur, where plerique denotes less than multi: Tac. Phr.: at the m., (1.) summum (not ad summum): twice, or at the m., thrice, bis terve summum, Cic. Fam. 2, 1: Liv. 33, 5, med. (2.) quum plūrĭmum: stakes having three or at m. four branches, valli trium aut quum plurimum quattuor ramorum, Liv. l. c. Also simply, plurimum: Plin. 22, 5, 22.

• most (adv.):
    1. I. With adj. and adverbs: expr. by superl., or in the case of adj. in -ius, by maxime with positive: cf. Cic. Ph. 13, 19, 43, where the form piissimus (used by M. Antony) is condemned by Cic.: it is however frequent in later authors, e. g. Tac. Agr. 43: Curt.
    2. II. With verbs:
      1. 1. maxĭmē (in the highest degree): this legion Caesar trusted m., huic legioni Caesar m. confidebat, Caes. B. G. 1, 40: strengthened by unus, unus omnium, multo, vel, etc.: v. Smith's Lat. Dict. s. v. (2).
      2. 2. plūrĭmum (strictly denoting extent rather than degree: but sometimes hardly to be distinguished from maxime): to be m. powerful or influential, p. posse, Caes. B. G. 1, 9; p. valere, Cic. Rep. 2, 22. (N.B.--By no means potissimum; which = in preference to all others: Gk. μάλιστα.)

1. adverb, plurimus: the most, plur., plurimi; plerique (☞ plurimi as superlative of multi, in opposition to pauci, the greatest quantity, mostly adjective, with a genitive; but plerique (οἱ πολλοί) the greater part, the majority, mostly substantive and of persons, not with a genitive. In Tac., and even in Sall., we find plurimi usually for the most, and plerique for many, with a substantive in the same case; Vid: Zumpt, § 109, Ramsh., § 42, Bremi ad Nep., Praef., 1, Herzog, ad Caes., B.G., 4, 5; Fabri, Herz., Kritz, ad Sall., Jug., 6, 1, Grysar, p. 121): for the most part, maximam partem, maxima ex parte: at most, summum; cum plurimum (Liv., 33, 5, 9, trium aut, cum plurimum, quatuor ramorum vallos caedit; ☞ ad summum is not Latin; Vid: Handrianus, Tursell., 1, p. 132, sq.).
2. adverb, plurimum, maxime.
