peccandus

Latin

Etymology

Future passive participle of peccō.

Participle

peccandus (feminine peccanda, neuter peccandum); first/second-declension participle

  1. which is to sin, transgress or offend
    • 8 CE, Ovid, Fasti 5.299–300:
      ‘saepe deōs aliquis peccandō fēcit inīquōs,
      et prō dēlictīs hostia blanda fuit’
      “Often by sinning someone has made the gods hostile,
      and for having failed there has been a soothing sacrifice.”

      (The poetic voice is that of Flora (mythology). A more literal translation of the gerundive “peccando” is “by having done that which will be offensive [to the gods]”.)
