SCRUPLE
s. Doubt difficulty dubitatio: cunctatio (a delaying): haesitatio (hesitation): scrupulus (a disquieting doubt): religio (a scruple of conscience). To make raise or cause a scruple dubitationem afferre inferre injicere dare; scrupulum alicui injicere incutere: to make a scruple about anything aliquid in religionem trahere; aliquid religioni habere: I make no scruple about it nulla mihi religio est (Hor. Sat. 1 9 70). I make no scruple have or feel no scruple in doing anything religio mihi non est quominus etc. (Vid: Cic. Cat. 3 6 15). Without any scruple (you can do so and so) sine sollicitudine religionis (Trajanus ap. Plin. Ep. 10 62 in.). To remove a scruple dubitationem alicui praecidere tollere expellere; scrupulum alicui eximere or ex animo evellere; religionem alicui evellere; religionem alicui eximere. I have still one scruple unus mihi restat scrupulus. I am disturbed by a scruple scrupulus me stimulat ac pungit. There is a scruple whether or not consultatio tenet ne etc. (Liv. 2 3). If the slightest scruple should seem to exist si tenuissimus scrupulus residere videbitur: without scruple nulla interposita dubitatione; sine ulla dubitatione.
(As a weight) scripulum or scrupulum and sometimes scrupulus: of a scruple weighing a scruple scripularis scrupularis: by scruples scripulatim scrupulatim
