What does "sine locum' mean?

Answer 1

Dear Don,

"No place" or "Without place"

-j.

Answer 2

Without place is "sine loco", not "sine locum"

A Locum means, roughly, “someone who fulfils the duties of another”. Sine means, again roughly, “without”.


So I’d day “sine locum” would mean the absence of someone to fill-in for a set of duties.

For example, the US Vice President would act as a Locum for the President if the President were temporarily incapacitated. Whereas a lone doctor in a remote village would be in a “sine locum” situation as if they fell ill no one could replace them.

Answer 3

A Locum is a person who fulfills the duties of another sine means without

Answer 4

Sine locum (sl) is a common abbreviation used in citation. It means no place

Answer 5

"Sine" is Latin for "without."

"Locum" means "place."

This phrase is translated to "no place" or "nowhere."
