Adjective

nāsūtus (feminine nāsūta, neuter nāsūtum, adverb nāsūtē); first/second-declension adjective

  1. big-nosed; that has a large nose
  2. (figuratively) satirical, sagacious, witty
    • 38 CE – 104 CE, Martial, 13 2:
      Nasutus sis usque licet, sis denique nasus,
      Quantum noluerat ferre rogatus Atlans,
      Et possis ipsum tu deridere Latinum:
      Non potes in nugas dicere plura meas,
      Ipse ego quam dixi.
      You're allowed to be keen-nosed, or in a nutshell to be a nose, to the point Atlas himself, if asked, would be unwilling to carry you. You can even surpass Latinus [the pantomime] himself in wit, but you can't attack my trifles more than I have myself.
    • 1499, Erasmus, Letter to Faustus Andrelinus, lauded poet :
      Nos in Anglia nonnihil promovimus. [] Tu quoque, si sapis, huc advolabis. Quid ita te iuvat hominem tam nasutum inter merdas Gallicas consenescere? Sed retinet te tua podagra; ut ea te salvo pereat male.
      We have made some progress in England. [] You, too, if you're wise, will fly your way here. What could please you, a man of such wit, about growing old in French shit? But your toe gout stops you; I hope that it dies a bad death and that you get better.
