Forms: Plural excursus, after Latin; now usually excursuses.

Etymology: < Latin excursus, noun of action < excurrĕre lit. ‘to run out’: see excur v. and compare excursion n.

1. The Latin word is used by editors of the classics to signify: A detailed discussion (usually in the form of an appendix at the end of the book, or of a division of it) of some point which it is desired to treat more fully than can be done in a note. Hence occasionally applied to a similar appendix in other works.
