Lewis Short
(adverb) : ăd-huc
* Prop., of place, to this place, hitherto, thus far (designating the limit, inclusive of the whole space traversed: hence often joined with usque; cf. ad, A. 1. B.): conveniunt adhuc utriusque verba,thus far, to this point, the statements of both agree,Plaut. Truc. 4, 3, 20: adhuc ea dixi, causa cur Zenoni non fuisset,Cic. Fin. 4, 16, 44; cf. Auct. Her. 1, 9, 16: his oris, quas angulo Baeticae adhuc usque perstrinximus,Mel. 3, 6, 1.—Hence, in the desig. of measure or degree, so far, to such a degree: et ipse Caesar erat adhuc impudens, qui exercitum et provinciam invito senatu teneret,Cic. Fam. 16, 11, 4; so Liv. 21, 18, 4; Quint. 2, 19, 2; 8, 5, 20.—More frequently
* Transf.
* Of time, until now, hitherto, as yet (designating the limit, together with the period already passed; cf. ad, 1. B.): res adhuc quidem hercle in tuto est,Plaut. Merc. 2, 3, 48: celabitur itidem ut celata adhuc est,Ter. Phorm. 4, 3, 20: sicut adhuc fecerunt, speculabuntur,Cic. Cat. 1, 2, 6: ille vidit non modo, quot fuissent adhuc philosophorum de summo bono, sed quot omnino esse possent sententiae,id. Fin. 5, 6, 16: haec adhuc (sc. acta sunt): sed ad praeterita revertamur,id. Att. 5, 20; so ib. 3, 14 fin.; 5, 17, 46; id. Agr. 3, 1, 1: Britanni, qui adhuc pugnae expertes,Tac. Agr. 37; so Curt. 7, 7, 8 al.—With usque or semper: usque adhuc actum est probe,Plaut. Mil. 2, 6, 107; so id. Ps. 4, 7, 14; Ter. And. 1, 5, 27; id. Ad. 4, 4, 23; 5, 4, 5; id. Hec. 4, 1, 29; Cic. Rep. 2, 20: quod adhuc semper tacui et tacendum putavi,Cic. de Or. 1, 26, 119.—With dum in subordinate propositions, for the purpose of more accurate desig. of time: quae adhuc te carens, dum hic fui, sustentabam,what I have endured during the whole time that I have been here, until now,Plaut. Capt. 5, 1, 4: adhuc dum mihi nullo loco deesse vis, numquam te confirmare potuisti,Cic. Fam. 16, 4; so ib. 18.—Hence the adverbial expression (occurring once in Plautus): adhuc locorum, until now, hitherto: ut adhuc locorum feci, faciam sedulo, Capt. 2, 3, 25.— Adhuc denotes not merely a limitation of time in the present, but also, though more rarely, like usque eo and ad id tempus, and the Engl. as yet, in the past: adhuc haec erant, ad reliqua alacri tendebamus animo,Cic. Div. 2, 2, 4: Abraham vero adhuc stabat,Vulg. Gen. 18, 22: unam adhuc a te epistulam acceperam,Cic. Att. 7, 2: cum adhuc sustinuisset multos dies,Vulg. Act. 18, 18: scripsi etiam illud quodam in libello ... disertos me cognōsse nonnullos, eloquentem adhuc neminem,id. de Or. 1, 21: una adhuc victoria Carus Metius censebatur,Tac. Agr. 45.
* To denote that a thing had reached a certain limit before another thing happened (in prose only after Livy), still, yet, while yet: inconditam multitudinem adhuc disjecit,he dispersed the multitude while yet unarranged,Tac. A. 3, 42.
* For etiam, insuper, praeterea, to denote that a thing occurs beside or along with another (belonging perhaps only to popular language, hence once in Plaut., and to the post-Aug. per.), besides, further, moreover: addam minam adhuc istic postea,Plaut. Truc. 5, 18: unam rem adhuc adiciam,Sen. Q. N. 4, 8: sunt adhuc aliquae non omittendae in auro differentiae,Plin. 33, 2, 10, § 37; so Quint. 2, 21, 6; 9, 4, 34; Val. Fl. 8, 429; Tac. A. 1, 17; id. Agr. 29; ib. 33; Flor. 1, 13, 17; Vulg. Amos, 4, 7; ib. Joan. 16, 12; ib. Heb. 11, 32.
* In later Lat. adhuc is used like etiam in the Cic. per., = ἔτι, yet, still, for the sake of emphasis in comparisons; then, if it cnhances the comparative, it stands before it; but follows it, if that which the comp. expresses is added by way of augmentation; as, he has done a still greater thing, and he has still done a greater thing (this is the view of Hand, Turs. I. p. 166): tum Callicles adhuc concitatior,Quint. 2, 15, 28: adhuc difficilior observatio est per tenores,id. 1, 5, 22: si marmor illi (Phidiae), si adhuc viliorem materiem obtulisses, fecisset, etc.,Sen. Ep. 85, 34: adhuc diligentius,Plin. 18, 4: cui gloriae amplior adhuc ex opportunitate cumulus accessit, Suet. Tib. 17: Di faveant, majora adhuc restant,Curt. 9, 6, 23; so Quint. 10, 1, 99; Tac. G. 19; Suet. Ner. 10.
* Adhuc sometimes = adeo, even (in the connection, et adhuc, -que adhuc; v. adeo, II.).
* Ita res successit meliusque adhuc, Plaut. Bacch. 4, 9, 18: Tellurem Nymphasque et adhuc ignota precatur flumina,Verg. A. 7, 137: Nil parvum sapias et adhuc sublimia cures,Hor. Ep. 1, 12, 15; so ib. 2, 2, 114; Liv. 22, 49, 10; Sen. Ep. 49, 4.
* Absol.: gens non astuta nec callida aperit adhuc secreta pectoris licentiā joci,Tac. G. 22: cetera similes Batavis, nisi quod ipso adhuc terrae suae solo et caelo acrius animantur,ib. 29, 3 (cf.: ipse adeo under adeo, II., and at the end); so Stat. S. 1, 2, 55.—See more upon this word, Hand, Turs. I. pp. 156-167.
