Adjective

[edit]

annōsus (feminine annōsa, neuter annōsum); first/second-declension adjective

  1. full of years, old, aged
    • 8 CE, Ovid, Fasti 2.571:
      ecce anus in mediīs residēns annōsa puellīs
      Behold an old woman, full of years, sitting among girls.
      (A year is an annus; an elderly woman an anus; and here Ovid's rhythmic word-play doubly describes her as being elderly indeed: anus annōsa – an old woman ‘‘long-lived’’ or ‘‘full of years.’’ The position of the word annōsa next to puellīs – that is to say, girls who are ‘‘few of years’’ – emphasizes their contrasting ages and appearance.)
