Give the literal translation and more common meaning for the Latin phrase *alma māter*.

Literal translation: nourishing mother 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.

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

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.”
