FWOTD – 28 April 2015

From Bacchus +‎ -ō.

bacchor (present infinitive bacchārī, perfect active bacchātus sum); first conjugation, deponent

to celebrate the festival or rites of Bacchus
to revel, rave or rant like the bacchanals
to go, run or roam about in a wild, raving, raging or furious manner
- 29 BCE – 19 BCE, Virgil, Aeneid 4.300–301:
  Saevit inops animī, tōtamque incēnsa per urbem / bacchātur [...].
  [Dido] raves out of her mind, and having become agitated, all through the city she roams wildly [...].
  (So begins the simile of Dido behaving like a bacchante or bacchanal; i.e., her people see their queen overcome with unrestrained emotion.)
(of inanimate things) to be furious, rage with fury
