WOUND Copy link • WOUND 1. s. vulnus (inflicted by a weapon or other sharp instrument): plaga (by any instrument intended to injure): ulcus (an open sore that has begun to fester: ☞ cicatrix is a scar, mark of a healed wound). To re-open or tear open a wound, recentem cicatricem rescindere: to irritate a wound, refricare obductam jam cicatricem: to sew up a wound, suturis oras vulneris inter se committere (Cels.): to close up a wound, vulnus glutinare (of drugs which have that effect): to bind up wounds, vulnera obligare: to inflict wounds (on a state, province, etc.), vulnera (reipublicae, provinciae, etc.) imponere: to be lame from or in consequence of a wound, claudicare ex vulnere wounds in front, vulnera adversa: cicatrices adversae; on the back, vulnera aversa. 2. v. PROP., vulnerare (general term, to inflict a wound; i. e., to divide the flesh, etc., with a sharp instrument, τιτρώσκειν): sauciare (to reduce to a wounded or unsound state, τραυματίζειν; to put hors de combat: sauciare is said to denote the effect of the cutting instrument, and so the depth of the wound; vulnerare, the effect of the cut, and so the separation of the parts, the open wound; but ☞ sauciare, although classical, is rare; it is not found in Caes.). To wound severely, grave vulnus alicui infligere: to be severely wounded, graviter vulnerari: gravi vulnere ici: grave vulnus accipere: to wound mortally, alicui plagam mortiferam infligere: to be mortally wounded, mortiferum vulnus accipere.
