whereas Copy link • whereas: quoniam, quando, quandoquidem, quum: v. since, while. Whereas, when serving to shew an adversative relation of two clauses, is often not expressed in Latin: e. g., we heard you say that we thought all men enemies who were not with us, w. you thought all men friends who were not against you, te dicere audiebamus, nos omnes adversarios putare nisi qui nobiscum essent, te omnes qui contra te non essent tuos, Cic.

[Vid: also SINCE] ☞ “Whereas” is often omitted, the adversative relation of the two clauses being denoted by the antithesis of the statements themselves; e.g., te enim dicere audiebamus, nos omnes adversarios putare, nisi qui nobiscum essent, te (= whereas you) omnes qui contra te non essent, esse tuos (Cic.).
