I. Lit., directed to another place (other men, objects; cf.: alias, alibi, alio, etc.), in another direction, elsewhither, elsewhere (Aliorsum et illorsum sicut introrsum dixit Cato, Paul. ex. Fest. p. 27 Müll.; only ante- and post-class.).
A. Of place: “mater ancillas jubet ... aliam aliorsum ire,” Plaut. Truc. 2, 4, 47 (where aliam aliorsum is like alius alio, etc.): “jumentum aliorsum ducere,” Gell. 7, 15: “lupi aliorsum grassantes,” App. M. 8, p. 209.—
C. Of things: “sed id aliorsum pertinet,” Gell. 17, 1.—
II. Fig., = in aliam partem or rationem, in another manner, in a different sense; so in Terence: aliorsum aliquid accipere, to receive something in another manner or otherwise, to take it differently: “vereor, ne aliorsum atque ego feci acceperit,” Ter. Eun. 1, 2, 1; cf. Plaut. Aul. 2, 4, 8, atqui ego istuc, Antrax, aliovorsum dixeram, with another design, in a different sense: alioversus, uncontr. in Lact. 1, 17, 1. Cf. Hand, Turs. I. pp. 241 and 242.
