Pronunciation

Verb

bacchor (present infinitive bacchārī, perfect active bacchātus sum); first conjugation, deponent

  1. to celebrate the festival or rites of Bacchus
  2. to revel, rave or rant like the bacchanals
  3. to go, run or roam about in a wild, raving, raging or furious manner
    • 29 BCE – 19 BCE, Virgil, Aeneid 4.300–301:
      Saevit inops animī, tōtamque incēnsa per urbem / bacchātur [...].
      [Dido] raves out of her mind, and having become agitated, all through the city she roams wildly [...].
      (So begins the simile of Dido behaving like a bacchante or bacchanal; i.e., her people see their queen overcome with unrestrained emotion.)
  4. (of inanimate things) to be furious, rage with fury
