  • to enjoy (ante- and post-class.); constr. with acc.; rarely with abl.: (Q. Claudius Quadrigiarius) Domus, inquit, suas quemque ire jubet et sua omnia frunisci ... ut fatiscor a fateor, ita fruniscor factum est a fruor. Q.

Novius in Atellana, quae Parcus inscripta, hoc verbo ita utitur: Quod magno opere quaesiverunt, id frunisci non queunt.
