Choosing the right word Döderlein's Latin Synonyms
Hortari · Monere
The hortatio (ὄρθωσις, ἐρέθω), addresses itself immediately to the will and resolution; whereas the monitio, almost entirely to the consciousness and judgment. The hortatio has always an action for its object; the monitio, only a representation, and by the medium of that representation, an action for its object. Sall. Jug. 60. Monere alii, alii hortari. Cat. 60. Nequidquam hortere . . . Sed ego vos quo pauca monerem, convocavi. Sen. Ep. 13. Nimium diu te cohortor, cum tibi admonitione magis quam exhortatione opus sit. Cic. Fam. x. 40. Si aut aliter sentirem, certe admonitio tua me reprimere, aut si dubitarem, hortatio impellere posset. (i. 164.)
