"Nunc pro tunc Nunc pro tunc (English translation: ""now for then"") is a Latin expression in common legal use in the United States, the United Kingdom, and other countries. In general, a ruling ""nunc pro tunc"" applies retroactively to correct an earlier ruling. Nunc pro tunc may apply to ""a judgment is entered, or document enrolled, so as to have the same legal force and effect as if it had been entered or enrolled on an earlier day"". This type of order originated from the Court of Chancery from 1388. In 1805 the Lord Chancellor, Lord Eldon, said ""The Court"

"Et cetera Et cetera (in English; ; ), abbreviated to etc., etc, &c., or &c, is a Latin expression that is used in English to mean ""and other similar things"", or ""and so forth"". Translated literally from Latin, means 'and', while means 'the rest'; thus the expression means 'and the rest (of such things)'. It is a calque of the Koine Greek , 'and the other things'. (The more usual Greek form was , 'and the remainder'.) The one-word spelling ""etcetera"" appears in some dictionaries. The abbreviated form ""&c."" or ""&c"" is still occasionally used.

"Quid pro quo Quid pro quo (""something for something"" in Latin) is a Latin phrase used in English to mean an exchange of goods or services, in which one transfer is contingent upon the other; ""a favour for a favour"". Phrases with similar meanings include: ""give and take"", ""tit for tat"", and ""you scratch my back, and I'll scratch yours"" and ""one hand washes the other"". In common law, ""quid pro quo"" indicates that an item or a service has been traded in return for something of value, usually when the propriety or equity of the transaction is in question."
"Ex tunc Ex tunc is a legal term derived from Latin, and means ""from the outset"". It can be contrasted with ""ex nunc"", which means ""from now on"". An example of usage of the term can be found in contract law, where avoidance of a contract can lead to it either being void ""ex nunc"", i.e. from then on, or ""ex tunc"", in which case it is treated as though it had never come into existence. Another example can be found in the ecclesiastical courts. These courts, after the conciliatory of Trente 1582, were granted the right to nullify a"

In Modern English, the word ""why"" is one instance of an etymologically instrumental declension.

Sometimes interpreted to indicate nostalgia, the ""ubi sunt"" motif is actually a meditation on mortality and life's transience.

Unlike in Ancient Greek or modern English, there is no distinction between perfect (""I have done"") and simple past (""I did""). The same tense, known in Latin grammar as the perfect tense, has both meanings. The participles ""ductus"" and ""ductūrus"" change for different genders. Thus ""ductus est"" = 'he was led', but ""ducta est"" 'she was led', ""ductum est"" = 'it was led'. The passive imperative is almost never used except in deponent verbs, e.g. ""sequere mē!"" 'follow me!' Regular verbs are divided into four groups,"
"In ictu oculi The phrase in ictu oculi is a Latin expression meaning ""in the blink of an eye"". One source is from the Bible, in 1 Corinthians 15:52: """"In momento, in ictu oculi, in novissima tuba:"""", translated in the KJV as ""In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump:"" where the Latin is itself a translation of the original Koine Greek phrase (""en rhipēi ophthalmou""). The phrase was used by Henry of Huntingdon on the rapid submission to the coronation of Stephen of England in 1135: ""Sine mora, sine labore, quasi in ictu oculi."""

However, the reverse order is also possible: When ""hic"" follows a noun, it goes close to"

In urban Latin of Rome, ""iste"" came to have a specifically derogatory meaning, but this innovation apparently did not reach the provinces and is not reflected in the modern Romance languages.

For example, Spanish has ""este"" ""this"" vs. ""ese"" ""that (near you)"" vs. ""aquel"" (fem. ""aquella"") ""that (over yonder)"".
