      1. 1. concertātio: a barren c. about words, jejuna verborum c., Cic.: discussions abounding in c., concertationum plenae disputationes, id.: v. dispute.

In abstract sense, as fond of c., the plur. of concertatio or controversia had better be used, as, a theologian devoted to c., *doctor [theologicus] concertationibus atque controversiis deditus, totus in illis: see L. G. 591.
