R

Latin	Translation	Notes
radix malorum est cupiditas	"the root of evils is desire"	Or "greed is the root of all evil". Theme of the Pardoner's Tale from The Canterbury Tales.
Rara avis	"Rare bird"	An extraordinary or unusual thing. From Juvenal's Satires: rara avis in terris nigroque simillima cygno ("a rare bird in the lands, and very like a black swan").
ratio decidendi	"reasoning for the decision"	The legal, moral, political, and social principles used by a court to compose a judgment's rationale.
ratio legis	"reasoning of law"	A law's foundation or basis.
ratione soli	"by account of the ground"	Or "according to the soil". Assigning property rights to a thing based on its presence on a landowner's property.
re	"in the matter of"	More literally, "by the thing". From the ablative of res ("thing" or "circumstance"). Often used in e-mail replies. It is a common misconception that the "Re:" in correspondence is an abbreviation for regarding. The use of Latin re, in the sense of "about, concerning", is English usage.
rebus sic stantibus	"with matters standing thus"	The doctrine that treaty obligations hold only as long as the fundamental conditions and expectations that existed at the time of their creation hold.
reductio ad absurdum	"leading back to the absurd"	A common debate technique, and a method of proof in mathematics and philosophy, that proves the thesis by showing that its opposite is absurd or logically untenable. In general usage outside mathematics and philosophy, a reductio ad absurdum is a tactic in which the logic of an argument is challenged by reducing the concept to its most absurd extreme. Translated from Aristotle's "ἡ εις άτοπον απαγωγη" (hi eis atopon apagogi, "reduction to the impossible").
reductio ad infinitum	"leading back to the infinite"	An argument that creates an infinite series of causes that does not seem to have a beginning. As a fallacy, it rests upon Aristotle's notion that all things must have a cause, but that all series of causes must have a sufficient cause, that is, an unmoved mover. An argument which does not seem to have such a beginning becomes difficult to imagine.
regnat populus	"the people rule"	State motto of Arkansas, adopted in 1907. Originally rendered in 1864 in the plural, regnant populi ("the peoples rule"), but subsequently changed to the singular.
Regnum Mariae Patrona Hungariae	"Kingdom of Mary, the Patron of Hungary"	Former motto of Hungary.
repetitio est mater studiorum	"repetition is the mother of study"
requiescat in pace (R.I.P.)	"let him rest in peace"	Or "may he rest in peace". A benediction for the dead. Often inscribed on tombstones or other grave markers. "RIP" is commonly mistranslated as "Rest In Peace", though the two mean essentially the same thing.
rerum cognoscere causas	"to learn the causes of things"	Motto of the University of Sheffield, the University of Guelph, and London School of Economics.
res gestae	"things done"	A phrase used in law representing the belief that certain statements are made naturally, spontaneously and without deliberation during the course of an event, they leave little room for misunderstanding/misinterpretation upon hearing by someone else ( i.e. by the witness who will later repeat the statement to the court) and thus the courts believe that such statements carry a high degree of credibility.
res ipsa loquitur	"the thing speaks for itself"	A phrase from the common law of torts meaning that negligence can be inferred from the fact that such an accident happened, without proof of exactly how. A mock Latin clause sometimes added on to the end of this phrase is sed quid in infernos dicit ("but what the hell does it say?"), which serves as a reminder that one must still interpret the significance of events that "speak for themselves".
res judicata	"judged thing"	A matter which has been decided by a court. Often refers to the legal concept that once a matter has been finally decided by the courts, it cannot be litigated again (cf. non bis in idem and double jeopardy).
respice finem	"look back at the end"	i.e., "have regard for the end" or "consider the end". Generally a memento mori, a warning to remember one's death.
respiciendum est iudicanti ne quid aut durius aut remissius constituatur quam causa deposcit nec enim aut severitatis aut clementiae gloria affectanda est	"the judge must see that no order be made or judgment given or sentence passed either more harshly or more mildly than the case requires; he must not seek renown, either as a severe or as a tender-hearted judge"	A maxim on the conduct of judges.
respondeat superior	"let the superior respond"	Regarded as a legal maxim in agency law, referring to the legal liability of the principal with respect to an employee. Whereas a hired independent contract acting tortiously may not cause the principal to be legally liable, a hired employee acting tortiously will cause the principal (the employer) to be legally liable, even if the employer did nothing wrong.
res nullius	"nobody's thing"	Goods without an owner. Used for things or beings which belong to nobody and are up for grabs, e.g., uninhabited and uncolonized lands, wandering wild animals, etc. (cf. terra nullius, "no man's land").
rex regum fidelum et	"king even of faithful kings"	Latin motto that appears on the crest of the Trinity Broadcasting Network of Paul and Jan Crouch.
rigor mortis	"stiffness of death"	The rigidity of corpses when chemical reactions cause the limbs to stiffen about 3–4 hours after death. Other signs of death include drop in body temperature (algor mortis, "cold of death") and discoloration (livor mortis, "bluish color of death").
Romanes eunt domus	"Romanes go the house"	An intentionally garbled Latin phrase from Monty Python's Life of Brian. Its translation is roughly, as said by a centurion in the movie, "'People called Romanes they go the house'", but its intended meaning is "Romans, go home!" When Brian is caught vandalizing the palace walls with this phrase, rather than punish him, the centurion corrects his Latin grammar, explaining that Romanus is a second declension noun and has its plural in -i rather than -es, that ire or eo ("to go") must be in the imperative mood to denote a command, and that domus takes the accusative case without a preposition as the object. The final result of this lesson is the correct Latin phrase Romani ite domum.
rosa rubicundior lilio candidior omnibus formosior semper in te glorior	"redder than the rose, whiter than the lilies, fairer than all things, I do ever glory in thee"
rus in urbe	"Farm in the city"	Generally used to refer to a haven of peace and quiet within an urban setting, often a garden, but can refer to interior decoration.

sapienti sat	"enough for the wise"	From Plautus. Indicates that something can be understood without any need for explanation, as long as the listener has enough wisdom or common sense.

The shortened form, semper reformanda, literally means "always about to be reformed", but the usual translation is taken from the full sentence where it is used in a passive periphrastic construction to mean "always reforming."
semper ubi sub ubi	"always where under where"	A common English-New Latin translation joke. The phrase is nonsensical in Latin, but the English translation is a pun on "always wear underwear".

Si tacuisses, philosophus mansisses	"If you had kept your silence, you would have stayed a philosopher"	This quote is often attributed to the Latin philosopher Boethius of the late fifth and early sixth centuries. It translates literally as, "If you had been silent, you would have remained a philosopher." The phrase illustrates a common use of the subjunctive verb mood. Among other functions it expresses actions contrary to fact. Sir Humphrey Appleby translated it to the PM as: "If you'd kept your mouth shut we might have thought you were clever".
si vales valeo (SVV)	"if you are well, I am well"	A common beginning for ancient Roman letters. Also extended to si vales bene est ego valeo ("if you are well, that is good; I am well"), abbreviated to SVBEEV. The practice fell out of fashion and into obscurity with the decline in Latin literacy.

sic semper tyrannis	"thus always to tyrants"	State motto of Virginia, adopted in 1776. Attributed to Brutus at the time of Julius Caesar's assassination, and to John Wilkes Booth at the time of Abraham Lincoln's assassination; whether it was actually said at either of these events is disputed.
sic transit gloria mundi	"thus passes the glory of the world"	A reminder that all things are fleeting. During Papal Coronations, a monk reminds the pope of his mortality by saying this phrase, preceded by pater sancte ("holy father") while holding before his eyes a burning paper illustrating the passing nature of earthly glories. This is similar to the tradition of a slave in Roman triumphs whispering "memento mori".

spem reduxit	"he has restored hope"	Motto of New Brunswick.
spes anchora vitae	"hope is the anchor of [my] life"	Motto of the Doran family.
spiritus mundi	"spirit of the world"	From The Second Coming (poem) by William Butler Yeats. Refers to Yeats' belief that each human mind is linked to a single vast intelligence, and that this intelligence causes certain universal symbols to appear in individual minds. The idea is similar to Carl Jung's concept of the collective unconscious.
spiritus ubi vult spirat	"the spirit spreads wherever it wants"	From El espiritu donde quiera se infunde by Fernando Porturas (http://www.cayetano-pae.org/Spiritus.htm). Refers to The Gospel of Saint John, where he mentions how Jesus told Nicodemus "The wind blows wherever it wants, and even though you can hear its noise, you don't know where it comes from or where it goes. The same thing happens to whomever has been born of the Spirit". It is the motto of Cayetano Heredia University.
splendor sine occasu	"brightness without setting"	Loosely "splendour without diminishment" or "magnificence without ruin". Motto of British Columbia.
stamus contra malo	"we stand against by evil"	The motto of the Jungle Patrol in The Phantom.

strenuis ardus cedunt	"the heights yield to endeavour"	Motto on the coat of arms of the University of Southampton, England.
stricto sensu cf. sensu stricto	"with the tight meaning"	Less literally, "in the strict sense".
stupor mundi	"the wonder of the world"	The title by which Frederick II, Holy Roman Emperor, was known. More literally translated "the bewilderment of the world", or, in its original, pre-Medieval sense, "the stupidity of the world".
sua sponte	"by its own accord"	Motto of the U.S. Army Rangers. Also a legal term.
Sub Cruce Lumen	"The Light Under the Cross"	Motto of the University of Adelaide, Australia. Refers to the figurative "light of learning" and the Southern Cross constellation, Crux.
sub judice	"under a judge"	Said of a case that cannot be publicly discussed until it is finished. Also sub iudice.

Examples include subpoena duces tecum ("take with you under penalty"), a court summons to appear and produce tangible evidence, and subpoena ad testificandum ("under penalty to testify"), a summons to appear and give oral testimony.
sub rosa	"under the rose"	"In secret", "privately", "confidentially" or "covertly". In the Middle Ages, a rose was suspended from the ceiling of a council chamber to indicate that what was said in the "under the rose" was not to be repeated outside. This practice originates in Greek mythology, where Aphrodite gave a rose to her son Eros, and he, in turn, gave it to Harpocrates, the god of silence, to ensure that his mother's indiscretions—or those of the gods in general, in other accounts—were kept under wraps.
sub specie aeternitatis	"under the sight of eternity"	Thus, "from eternity's point of view". From Spinoza, Ethics.
sub verbo; sub voce		Under the word or heading, as in a dictionary; abbreviated s.v.

sunt lacrimae rerum	"there are tears for things"	From Virgil, Aeneid. Followed by et mentem mortalia tangunt ("and mortal things touch my mind"). Aeneas cries as he sees Carthaginian temple murals depicting the deaths of the Trojan War. See also hinc illae lacrimae.

suo jure	"in one's own right"	Used in the context of titles of nobility, for instance where a wife may hold a title in her own right rather than through her marriage.
suo moto	"upon one's own initiative"	Also rendered suo motu. Usually used when a court of law, upon its own initiative, (i.e., no petition has been filed) proceeds against a person or authority that it deems has committed an illegal act. It is used chiefly in South Asia.
