denuo

denuo, once more, a second time, anew, afresh, again

dēnŭō, adv. [contr. from dē nŏvo, which never occurs; v. Ruhnk. Ter. And. 26; Oud. Ap. Met. 3, 27, 4; cf.: Fr. de nouveau], anew, afresh, again (most freq. in Plaut. and Ter.; elsewh. rare; not in Caes. or the Aug. poets—for syn. cf.: iterum, rursus, ab integro).
  • I Of the restoration of a thing which has been destroyed, = de integro, anew, afresh, ἐκ καινῆς: aedificantur aedes totae denuo, Plaut. Most. 1, 2, 36 (119); cf.: urbes terrae motu subversas denuo condidit, Suet. Aug. 47: oportet vos nasci denuo, Vulg. Joan. 3, 7. —
  • II For iterum, a second time, once more, again: si parum intellexti, dicam denuo, Plaut. Rud. 4, 4, 59 (1103); cf. id. Mil. 3, 3, 3 (877); id. Most. 1, 3, 66 (222): jam ego tibi Persam adducam denuo, id. Pers. 5, 2, 47 (823): in Etruria rebellante denuo, Liv. 10, 31: denuo in voluntarium exsilium proficiscitur, Just. 5, 5 fin. —
  • III For rursus, of any thing that is repeated (not precisely a second time), once more, again; hence often with verbs compounded with re: ecce Apollo denuo, etc., Plaut. Men. 5, 2, 115 (867): So. Amphitruonis ego sum servus Sosia. Me. Etiam denuo? what, again? id. Am. 1, 1, 238 (390); 1, 1, 139 (291); Ter. Eun. 899: Sicilia censa denuo est, Cic. Verr. 2, 2, 56: recita denuo, id. ib. 2, 1, 14.—Pleonast. with redire, Plaut. Capt. 2, 3, 51 (411); cf. id. Truc. 2, 4, 42 (393); with redauspicari, id. ib. 3, 5, 109 (767); with respondere, Ter. Eun. 691; with referre, id. Hec. 38. And sometimes with rursus (rursum), Plaut. Cas. prol. 33; id. Poen. prol. 79. —
  • IV Like our again (in, I am going back again), Gr. α, where an action is reversed (mostly colloquial): aperi ... continuo operito denuo, and then cover it up again, Plaut. Trin. 3, 3, 76 (804); cf. id. Merc. 5, 2, 14 (855); Ter. Heaut. 808: et nunc quid exspectat, Syre? an dum hinc denuo abeat, etc., id. ib. 543: fiet tibi puniceum corium postea atrum denuo, and then again back, Plaut. Rud. 4, 3, 61 (998): chlamydem sumam denuo, id. Merc. 5, 2, 79 (920); Auct. Her. 4, 19, 26; cf. Hand Turs. II. p. 278-280.
