wound

v. PROP. vulnerare (general term to inflict a wound; i.e. to divide the flesh etc. with a sharp instrument τιτρώσκειν): sauciare (to reduce to a wounded or unsound state τραυματίζειν; to put hors de combat: sauciare is said to denote the effect of the cutting instrument and so the depth of the wound; vulnerare the effect of the cut and so the separation of the parts the open wound; but ☞ sauciare although classical is rare; it is not found in Caes.). To wound severely grave vulnus alicui infligere: to be severely wounded graviter vulnerari: gravi vulnere ici: grave vulnus accipere: to wound mortally alicui plagam mortiferam infligere: to be mortally wounded mortiferum vulnus accipere.

Figuratively vulnerare (e.g. animos; aliquem verbis voce): laedere (to injure more or less slightly; e.g. alicujus famam): ☞ sauciare in this figurative sense is found only in Plaut.
