Verb

adhibeō (present infinitive adhibēre, perfect active adhibuī, supine adhibitum); second conjugation

1. (to extend something toward another): to extend, hold out
   • c. 194 BCE, Plautus, Poenulus 5.5.38–39:

     Quīn adhibuistī, dum istaec loquēre, tympanum?
     nam tē cinaedum esse arbitror magis quam virum.

     Why didn't you hold out a tambourine while saying this?
     'cause I think you're more of a catamite than a man.

   • c. 37 BCE – 30 BCE, Virgil, Georgics 3.452–456:

     Nōn tamen ūlla magis praesēns fortūna labōrum est,
     quam sī quis ferrō potuit rescindere summum
     ulceris ōs: alitur vitium vīvitque tegendō,
     dum medicās adhibēre manūs ad vulnera pāstor
     abnegat, et meliōra deōs sedet ōmina poscēns.

     However there isn't any success of the efforts more present
     than if someone could cut with iron the top
     opening of the ulcer: the problem is nourished and lives by concealment,
     while the shepherd doesn't allow medical hands to hold out
     to the wound, and sits asking the gods for better omens.

2. (to apply one's self or devote attention to something): to attend (to), handle, look after
3. to apply, adopt, employ

   • c. 100 CE – c. 130 CE, Juvenal, Satires 2.132–135:

     […] 'Officium crās
     prīmō sōle mihī peragendum in valle Quirīnī.'
     'Quae causa officiī?' 'Quid quaeris? nūbit amīcus,
     nec multōs adhibet. […]

     […] 'A ceremony tomorrow
     I must attend in the valley of Quirinus at sunrise.'
     'What's the ceremony for?' 'Why do you want to know? A friend's getting married to a man,
     and he doesn't invite too many.' […]

5. to add
