it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney
College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words,

comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of “de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum” (The
Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise
