More common meaning: school or college attended or school song

Fun Fact: Alō is a Latin verb that means “feed” or “nourish,” and Alma Mater is a title the Romans gave to Ceres, the goddess of bountiful harvests. Today we use the phrase alma māter to describe a school or college, which can nurture its students and provide them with food for thought.

Q

Give the literal translation and more common meaning for the Latin phrase ante bellum.

A

Literal translation: before the war

More common meaning: before the American Civil War

Fun Fact: This phrase is sometimes written in English as a single word, “antebellum.” It refers to the period in American history before the Civil War. Ante means “before” in Latin, and that makes sense when you remember that poker players ante up before they begin to play. Bellum, the Latin word for “war,” gives us the English word “belligerent” that means “aggressive.”

Q

Give the literal translation for the Latin phrase caveat emptor.

A

Literal translation: let the buyer beware

Fun Fact: This phrase warns people to be careful when they hear about a deal that sounds too good to be true. The word caveat can be used by itself in English to mean a warning. Emptor is related to the English word “emporium” which means store.
