I started working for some accountants, and asked what "dr" stood for, since "debit" has no "r" in it, was it from a latin-based word, they didn't know. Then, I said, "Isn't there a word, "debiture",they said there was no such word. I came home, and saw that it was not in the dictionary, but on the computer, I came up with it in an English,(American)article about workman's comp.-SO it used in America,,and I saw it in a "Latin to English" learning game....so that insinuates that it is Latin...BUT I also saw it in some French and Spanish(or Italian)website listings....so what the heck is it?and why doesn't the English dictionary recognize it, if politicians are using the word in a bill for workman's compensation...?(along with the word "additure") THANKS--p.s. Anybody remember what c/ means in Latin that makes it mean "with"?
