redound

REDOUND

PROP. resilire: rejici.

Figuratively By esse with a double dative; e.g. it redounds to my honor est mihi decori. Sometimes but rarely instead of a dative we find a nominative in apposition; = it redounds to our disgrace est dedecus nostrum; but ☞ we must avoid esse with an ablative (instead of a dative) of that to which anything redounds; as to redound to great glory not magna esse gloria (for magnae esse gloriae) which in classical Latin is = to have great glory to be illustrious (Vid: Bremi Nep. Thras. 4 1): alicui verti or vertere ad aliquid alicui converti ad aliquid alicui cedere in aliquid (to turn out to advantage for anybody when the reverse had been expected): verti alicui in etc. (to be imputed to anybody; e.g. as blame): afferre alicui aliquid (to bring anything to one; e.g. profit loss etc.): valere ad (to contribute to its production; e.g. ad gloriam): ad aliquem redundat (something comes to me from another’s superfluity; e.g. laus adolescentis ad meum quemdam fructum redundat Cic.): gloriae tuae ad me pars aliqua redundat (Plin. Ep. 5 12 2).
