Lewis & Short

crux, ŭcis, ,

, a tree, frame, or other wooden instruments of execution, on which criminals were impaled or hanged.

As a term of reproach, a gallows bird, a hempen rascal.

, torture, trouble, misery, destruction, (so most in Plaut. and Ter., and in the former in connection with mala): aliqua mala crux, tormentor (of a prostitute) — Prov. — Hence, in lang.; Cy. Num quid vis? Me. Ut eas maximam in malam crucem. — Without mala. — And ellipt. — Hence, croce; croix.

Ambiguity is kept

Every structurally valid lemma-analysis pair is shown. Nothing is silently collapsed to a single preferred parse.

Ordering is not judgment

Candidates are ordered by Collatinus lemma frequency from the LASLA corpus — classical counts, not Ecclesiastical or Vulgate measurements.

Spelling is normalized

æ → ae, œ → oe, j → i, v → u, and vowel-quantity marks are stripped before lookup. The form you typed is preserved above.
