It is used in the passive to express periphrastically the passive of verbs which have only an active voice – e.g. in invidiam vocari, to become unpopular, be hated, invideor not being used. Cf. in invidiam venire.

Similarly descendere is frequently used of consenting unwillingly to a thing, condescending. Cf. vi. 9 ad fin. and xvi. 9.
