incutio

Latin

Etymology

From in- +‎ quatiō (“I shake”).

Pronunciation

Verb

incutiō (present infinitive incutere, perfect active incussī, supine incussum); third conjugation iō-variant

  1. to strike on, against, into
    • 29 BCE – 19 BCE, Virgil, Aeneid 1.69–70:
      “Incute vim ventīs submersāsque obrue puppēs,
      aut age dīversōs et disice corpora pontō.”
      “Strike force against [them] with [your] winds, sink and overwhelm [the Trojan] ship-decks, and otherwise drive [their fleet] in divergent [directions] and dislocate [the sailors’] bodies in the deepest sea.”
      (Juno wants Aeolus (son of Hippotes), King of the Winds, to destroy the Trojan fleet now sailing to Italy. Note: The phrases “submersasque obrue” and “diversos et disice” both exemplify prolepsis, a reversal of the normal order of events.)
  2. to inspire with, inflict, excite
