名詞

pōculum n (genitive pōculī); second declension

1. a drinking cup

   Vīsne pōculum merī?

   Would you like a cup of strong wine?

2. as used in context to describe the experience of social drinking: having a drink, etc.
   • 106 BCE – 43 BCE, Cicero, Cato Maior de Senectute 14.46:

     Mē vērō et magisteria dēlectant ā maiōribus īnstitūta, et is sermō, quī mōre maiōrum ā summō adhibētur in pōculō; et pōcula, sīcut in Symposiō Xenophontis est, minūta atque rōrantia […] .

     As for me, I truly delight in both the presiding roles [at banquets], as established by our ancestors, and in that style of conversation which, by ancient custom, is led from the head of the couch during the wine; and [I enjoy] the cups — just as [they are described] in Xenophon’s Symposium — small in size and filled by driblets.
     (The first poculo is a metonymy in which the cup itself represents the social event or experience: “over a cup,” “while having a cup,” “at the party,” “during the wine,” “while the wine is flowing.” The second instance refers to Xenophon’s Symposium, 2.26, which suggests an optimal amount of alcohol to serve party guests.)
