Pronunciation

Verb

displiceō (present infinitive displicēre, perfect active displicuī, supine displicitum); second conjugation

  1. to displease (with dative)
    • 8 CE – 12 CE, Ovid, Sorrows 1.49–50:
      dēnique sēcūrus fāmae, liber, īre mementō,
      nec tibi sit lectō displicuisse pudor.
      Lastly, book, you remember to go untroubled by reputation; nor should you be ashamed, by having been read, to be displeasing.
      (The exiled poet addresses his new book as if it is a living emissary; Ovid's tarnished reputation may color the book’s reception back in Rome.)
  2. to be displeased
    Antonyms: gaudeō, placeō, ovō, grātulor, congrātulor, exhilarō, fruor
