PROP. de cardine vellere (violently † Verg.).
ImPROP. aliquem or alicujus animum de statu (omni) dejicere or certo de statu demovere (Cic.).
unhinge: only fig.: to u. the mind, perh. animum resolvere; animi nervos elidere (which phrases, however, correspond more closely to Eng. unnerve): perh. labefactare animum (to shake, weaken, impair): R. and A. give animum de statu dejicere, certo de statu demovere (e Cic.); the sense of which is rather to disconcert, deprive of self-possession.
