    Default What exactly does Auctoriso mean ?

    Is there any chance that someone could give the full dictionary entry on this one? I'm staring at the word and drawing a complete blank (which is probably my normal state these days) and my Lewis and Short is at the bottom of one of my packing crates.

    Auctoriso is Latin for "authentic". Mediaeval Auctoriso means "Authentic Medieval".

    Why do you think it means authentic? Did anyone look it up in a medieval latin dictionary ? What gender, case, and number is it ? Is it supposed to be some kind of participial adjective? Maybe it wouldn't look so weird to me if there were some examples of it being used in context.

    Gentlemen:

    Good evening from Canada!!! I hope this finds you and yours well. As for me, I could complain...yadda, yadda, yadda.

    We have been discussing the word, "Auctoriso." I hate to be one to rain on your parade, but that isn't the word for "authentic". That word is related to the likes of "auctoritas"(power, authority) and the word "auctor", which means "author" or "originator."

    For the word, "authentic", our mod maker would be well served with one of the following: "Germanus", "Sincerus", "Verus", "Genuinitas", "Auctorita ratio", or "Autenicitas."

    I hope I haven't ruined anyone's night.

    Live long and prosper, take care and thank you kindly!!!!

    Sincerely yours always,

    Indy.

    I've been starting to learn a bit of Latin and I have to agree with Indy, Auctoriso is, I believe, used incorrectly, thus Mediæval Auctoriso is grammartically incorrect.

    You know what to do? Ask a general physician. They write in Latin.
