Latin is part and parcel of French, my mother tongue. I have
absolutely no knowledge in Philosophy (okay, a little bit Sénèque),
but I did not find an English equivalent to this latin
expression. Note that a Flemish (also from Belgium) should be unable
to name any latin expression, because they are only part of French,
Italian, and other Roman languages, evidently not of Germanic
languages such as Dutch, etc.

(I do not believe that you learnt something with this.)
