Pronunciation

Verb

annītor (present infinitive annītī, perfect active annīxus sum or annīsus sum); third conjugation, deponent

  1. to press or lean upon or against
    • c. 117 CE, Tacitus, Annales 3.61:
      Prīmī omnium Ephesiī adiēre, memorantēs nōn, ut vulgus crēderet, Diānam atque Apollinem Dēlō genitōs: esse apud sē Cenchrium amnem, lūcum Ortygiam, ubi Lātōnam partū gravidam et oleae, quae tum etiam maneat, adnīsam ēdidisse ea nūmina, deōrumque monitū sacrātum nemus, atque ipsum illīc Apollinem post interfectōs Cyclōpās lovis īram vītāvisse.
      First went the Ephesians, reminding that Diana and Apollo weren't born, as people believe, on Delos: that in their region there was the river Cenchrius and the grove Ortygia, where Latona, pregnant with her issue and leant on an olive tree which survives even these days, gave birth to those gods; and the grove was sacred by the gods' injunction, and that Apollo himself had avoided the anger of Jupiter after killing the Cyclops.
  2. to strive, exert
    Synonyms: certō, cōnītor, cōnor, temptō, affectō, tendō, quaerō, studeō, ēnītor, contendō, labōrō, molior, perīclitor, nītor, spectō
  3. Alternative form of adnītor
    • c. 190 BCE – 185 BCE, Plautus, Amphitruō pro.13–16:
      Haec ut mē voltis approbāre, annītier
      lucrum ut perenne vōbīs semper suppetat,
      ita huic faciētis fābulae silentium
      itaque aequī et iūstī hīc eritis omnēs arbitrī.
      As you wish me to approve of these [wishes], to strive
      so that constant gain will always come to you,
      so you shall be silent during this play
      and so you shall all be impartial and just judges.
