Choosing the right word Döderlein's Latin Synonyms
Solere · Consuevisse · Adsolere
1. Solere (from ἑλεῖν) is used of events and of actions, like φιλεῖν, to be used; whereas consuevisse only of an action, with reference to a person, like εἰωθέναι, to be wont. In Liv. xxxviii. 17, Hæc quibus insolita atque insueta sunt Græci timeant!—the word insolitus refers to the frequency of their appearance; insuetus, to the connection of their appearance with the individuality of the subject acting or suffering. 2. Solet is used indifferently; assolet involves praise, and may be resolved into recte or rite solet. (v. 73.)
