Latin term or phrase: Exsuscito non meus ira
I saw this as a signature line for someone, wanted to know what it could mean
Duana Traherne
Do not awake/excite/arouse my wrath/anger/rage
Explanation:
It's in imperative.

exsuscito -are, to awaken from sleep; of fire, to kindle or fan; mentally, to excite, arouse; 'se exsuscitare', to make an effort.

http://www.bible-history.com/latin/latin_e.html

non (old forms noenum, noenu), not; 'non nihil', something; 'nihil non', everything; 'non quod, non quo', not that, not because; 'non ita', not very, not particularly; in questions = 'nonne?' q.v.; in com- mands = 'ne'; in answers, no.

http://www.bible-history.com/latin/latin_n.html

meus -a -um, my, mine; 'Nero meus', my friend Nero.

http://www.bible-history.com/latin/latin_m.html

ira -ae, f. wrath, anger, rage; meton., cause of anger.

agree  Beatriz Galiano (X)
7 mins
  -> ¡Gracias, Beatriz!
disagree  Joseph Brazauskas: 'Meus' cannot refer to 'ira', being the masculine form of this possessive adj., while 'ira' is feminine.
3 hrs
neutral  Leonardo Marcello Pignataro (X): The imperative of "exscitare" for the 2nd person singular would be "exsuscite" and the object should be in the accusative "meam iram", but still the general meaning is the one you suggested
6 hrs
  -> Thanks for your comments, Leonardo.
agree  Rebecca Garber: looks like someone took the initial dictionary forms and lined them up expecting a sentence to result.
13 hrs
  -> Thanks, Rebecca. A few years studying Latin gave me some insight as to what the translation should be. I only used the reference on the proposed website for colleagues to verify the meaning of the words.
agree  Nicholas Ferreira
