PATIENT

adj. patiens tolerans in anything alicujus rei [SYN. in PATIENCE]: placidus (mild calm): to be patient; Vid: “to have PATIENCE.

patient (adj.):

1. pătiens, ntis: most p. ears, patientissimae aures, Cic. Lig. 8, 24: more freq. foll. by gen. of that which is endured: e. g. patiens laboris (capable of enduring toil), Ov. M. 5, 611; p. sessoris equus, Suet. Caes. 61. (In class. Lat., the adj. usu. indicates faculty of endurance rather than any strictly moral virtue.)

2. tŏlĕrans, ntis (like preced., but always with depend. gen.): the ass is a very p. animal, asellus plagarum et penuriae tolerantissimus, Col. 7, 1, med.

patient (subs.): aeger (strictly, masc. adj., but used in medical treatises irrespective of sex): the patient nevertheless breathes easily, tamen aeger facile spirat, Cels. 2, 8. init.: ib. 3, 6, et pass.: cf. Cic. N. D. 2, 4, 12, ne aegri quidem quia non omnes convalescunt, idcirco ars nulla medicina est; where however aegri is strictly adj. So also aegrotus is sometimes used: this was the part of a resolute p., to take the medicine, quod ipsum erat fortis aegroti, accipere medicinam, Cic. Att. 12, 21, fin. (but aeger is preferred in medical practice). Or expr. by circuml.: if the p. be a boy, si puer est qui laborat, Cels. 3, 7, 1: if the frame of the p. who is being operated on is stronger than usual, si robustius corpus ejus est qui curatur, id. 7, 26. 2. (N.B.--In speaking of female p.s specially, Cels. appears always to use mulier or femina, not aegra: cf. id. 4, 20.)
