deponent

A deponent verb has middle/passive endings but is active in meaning. The way to know for certain if a verb is deponent or not is to check the lexicon in the back of BBG. If the verb’s lexical form is spelled with middle/passive endings, then it is deponent (BBG 18.11).

“There is a danger of being a Pharisee when thou ceasest being a Publican.” –Anthony Burgess
