1. infringo, frēgi, fractum, 3: the rays being r.'d rebound, radii infracti resiliunt, Plin. 2, 38, 38: an oar r.'d in the water, i. remus, Cic. Acad. 2, 25, 79.
2. rĕfringo, frēgi, fractum, 3: it is plain that a ray from the sun falling upon a hollow cloud has its brilliancy thrown back in the direction of the sun and is r.'d, manifestum est radium solis immissum cavae nubi repulsa acie in solem refringi, Plin. 2, 59, 60. Phr.: the oar appears r.'d, remus fracti speciem habet, Sen. N. Q. 1, 3, 9: some perfectly straight objects, on being immersed in water, appear crooked and broken (i. e. refracted ) to those who look at them, quaedam rectissima, quum in aquam demissa sunt, speciem curvi praefractique visentibus reddunt, id. Ep. 71, 24.
