Meanings
-
(rhetoric) Any word or phrase borrowed from Latin, or suggestive of Latin.
[discussing numquam in the Old French portion of the Oaths of Strasbourg] a Latinizing spelling, maybe a pure Latinism, not surviving in modern French (but cf. Old French onques < umquam ‘ever’). Note the double negative, literally ‘will never make no pact’
