Adjective

impiō

Verb

impiō (present infinitive impiāre); first conjugation, no perfect or supine stem

1. (chiefly Old Latin and Late Latin) to pollute, defile
   • c. 125 CE – 180 CE, Apuleius, Metamorphoses 1.18:

     nox acerba dīrās et trucēs imāginēs obtulit, ut adhūc mē crēdam cruōre hūmānō aspersum atque impiātum.

     the rough night brought me such dreadful and harsh dreams that I still feel splashed and polluted with human blood.

Usage notes

Rarely used in Classical Latin, but encountered in Plautus, the archaizing Apuleius, and Late Latin authors such as Ammianus Marcellinus and Prudentius.
