Participle[edit]

negātus (feminine negāta, neuter negātum); first/second-declension participle

  1. denied, having been denied.
    • 8 CE, Ovid, Fasti 6.203–204:
      Appius est auctor, Pyrrhō quī pāce negātā
      multum animō vīdit, lūmine captus erat.
      The founder was Appius, he who – [with] the peace having been denied to Pyrrhus – saw much in his mind, [although] he [himself] had been taken from the light.
      (That is to say, even though Appius Claudius Caecus was blind, he had the foresight to dissuade the Roman senate from making peace with Pyrrhus of Epirus.)
  2. refused, declined, having been said no to.
