One favorite Latin word of mine is coruscus - [English coruscate] - it means to move or shake, but especially refers to how light reflects off the surface of moving water. Another is luscus -one-eyed as in the motto -In regionem caecorum rex est luscus." In the country of the blind, the one-eyed man is king. Note: the person who said Latin is a hard language to learn is mistaken, it is one of the easiest for several reasons. [1] you don't have to learn pronunciation, [2] there are few irregular verbs, [3] although it is inflected (the nouns, adjectives, etc. change according to number and gender) the system is very regular and straightforward, [4] best of all, mastery of Latin enables you to understand most of French, Spanish and Italian, as well as improving your English (English is 66% -75% Latin) so you get more "bang for your buck.".

'carpe diem' is a classic, stands for - live for the moment/day

ceritus paribus - all other things remaining constant (business/economics term)

ave - hail. so you could say - ave satani - that means hail satan. i only know that from the omen films.

also a gardening one; acer, acer is latin for maple.

How about a phrase?
Quidvis recte factum quamvis humile praeclarum.That translates to
Whatsoever is rightly done, however humble, is noble.

That's Rolls-Royce's motto. Would be good for any business or person!

I don't know latin. Not many people do. Hard language.
