+ ==Forms==

+ '''īnsolenter''' (comparative īnsolentius, superlative īnsolentissimē)^(Wiktionary)

+

+ ==Etymology==

+ It is [[af|la|īnsolēns|-ter|t1=unaccustomed; haughty]].^(OLD 2012)^(Köbler 2010) The adjective is the negative ⟨in-⟩ added to the present participle of [[m|la|soleō|t=to be accustomed]], whose etymology de Vaan calls disputed.^(de Vaan 2008)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ Cicero uses it in the ''De inventione'' of something happening rarely, contrary to custom, rather than commonly.^(OLD 2012)^(Köbler 2010)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ From “unusually” it came to mean immoderately, as Cicero says of Gorgias overusing ornaments of style in the ''Orator'',^(OLD 2012) and haughtily or insolently, as in the ninth ''Philippic'' of someone glad at the death of the senate's leader.^(OLD 2012) The comparative is ''īnsolentius'', the superlative ''īnsolentissimē''.^(OLD 2012)^(Wiktionary) Stelten gives “arrogantly”;^(Stelten 1995) British Medieval Latin keeps all three senses.^(DMLBS)
