Visitare, to visit,' is not used for convenire, visere, intervisere.

Visus, 'the sight,' is rare by itself for sensus videndi, acies, visus oculorum.

Vivus, in the phrase ad vivum aliquid or aliquem exprimere, is without

authority for alicujus vivam imaginem exprimere.

Vix adhuc is barbarous for vix dum, vix jam; so also vix aliquis for vix quisquam.

Voluptuosus, 'voluptuous,' is unclassical for voluptarius, voluptatibus afluens.

Votum, 'the vote or opinion,' is barbarous for sententia.

Vox, 'a voice,' is not used for sententia, suffragium. Although vox in the singular may denote a single word and voces several connected words, the singular alone is used to denote 'a sentence,' 'a saying,' as in Cic. Tusc. 1. 46 § 11: Laconis illa vox.

Vulgaris is not applied to persons in the sense of our 'vulgar,' and vulgares homines, though used by Muretus (ad Cic. Cat. 11. 13) for vulgus, is quite inadmissible.

Z.

Zelotypia, though used by Cicero, Tusc. IV. 8, § 18, is a Greek word, which may be replaced by the Latin obtrectatio, aemulatio.

Zodiacus may be expressed in Latin by signifer orbis (Cic. de Div. 11 42, § 89; N. D. II. 20, § 53) or duodecim signorum orbis (Cic. N. D. II. 20, § 52).
