INTU'SIUM. The reading adopted by some instead of INDUSIUM; in which case the word would be derived from intus, and not from induo; and then the meaning, according to this derivation of Varro (L. L. v. 131.), would be, an inner tunic over an under one (subucula), but itself under some other garment; which is not very intelligible.
