Examples

“Ōsī sunt, ab odiō dēclīnāsse antīquōs testis est C. Gracchus in eā, quae est dē lēge Minuciā, cum ait: 'Mīrum sī quid hīs iniūriae fit; semper eōs ōsī sunt.' Quod nunc quoque cum praepositiōne ēlātum frequēns est, quandō dīcimus semper perōsī.”

That the old authors formed ōsī sunt from odium is witnessed by Gaius Gracchus in his Minucian law speech, when he says: 'It would be remarkable if any injury happens to these people; they've always hated those people.' This word is frequent even now when intensified by a prefix, since we always say perōsī.
