[Sepelire]; Condere; Humare. Sepelire and condere denote complete burial, the more or less solemn interment of the remains of a dead person, with or without previous burning; sepelire (Goth. filhan, ἀσπάλαξ) as a proper and technical expression; condere (καταθεῖναι) as a general and softer expression; whereas humare means depositing in the earth, as the last part of burial, in opp. to cremare.
[Sera]; Claustrum; Pessulus; Repagulum; Obex. Seræ and claustra are bolts; sera (seruisse, εἴρειν) a movable bolt, that is put on the door; claustrum, a bolt that is fastened to the door; whereas pessuli, repagula, and obices, are merely bars, which supply the place of bolts; pessulus (πάσσαλος) a smaller bar for the fores, Plaut. Aul. i. 2, 25. Ter. Heaut. ii. 3, 47; whereas repagulum (from πῆξαι), pangere, a greater bar for the valvæ, Cic. Verr. iv. 43. Plin. H. N. xvi. 42, and obex (from objicere) for the portæ, Tac. H. iii. 30. Ann. xiii. 39. (v. 292.)
[Series]; Ordo. Series (from serere, εἴρειν) means a row, as an outward, mechanical, accidental association of things, which, according to their nature, are of the like sort; whereas ordo (from ἀριθμός, ῥυθμός) an inward, ideal, necessary association of things, which, according to their destination, belong to one another. Series is a mathematical; ordo, a moral notion. (vi. 330.)
[Serius]; Severus. Severus (αὐηρός) means, actively, one who cuts no jokes; serius, in a neutral sense, what is no subject for joking; and severe means earnestly; serio, in earnest; whence severus is an epithet for persons, serius for things; Hor. A. P. 105. Decent vultum severum seria dictu. Senec. Tranq. 15. Nihil magnum, nihil severum nec serium quidem ex tanto apparatu putat. Severus is in opp. to hilaris, Cic. Brut. 93, remissus, Orat. ii. 17, luxuriosus, Quintil. xi. 3, 74; whereas serius is in opp. to jucundus, jocosus; and serio to joco, per jocum. Yet severus also supplies the place of serius; particularly in severior, severissimus, and severitas, because serius does not possess these forms. (i. 75.)
