Thanks for all your replies. They have been very helpful and explain a lot
regarding this simple term. It must be Latin or something of that nature.
Another term that used to bug me a lot was the word 'sans', which I eventually
learned meant 'without'.
I guess the publisher/author must use these foreign words to save printers ink
and space. hmm Oh well.
Thanks again for clearing up this mystery!!
