peccandus

Latin

Etymology

Future passive participle of peccō.

Participle

peccandus (feminine peccanda, neuter peccandum); first/second-declension participle

1. which is to sin, transgress or offend
   • 8 CE, Ovid, Fasti 5.299–300:

     ‘saepe deōs aliquis peccandō fēcit inīquōs,
     et prō dēlictīs hostia blanda fuit’

     “Often by sinning someone has made the gods hostile,
     and for having failed there has been a soothing sacrifice.”
     (The poetic voice is that of Flora (mythology). A more literal translation of the gerundive “peccando” is “by having done that which will be offensive [to the gods]”.)
