- What are the Greek or Latin words for these SI prefixes?
+1 for giving the correspondence between the prefixes and the Greek Latin numbers But it’s not quite accurate to call the SI prefixes “corruptions” of the Greek Latin numbers — as explained in Joonas Ilmavirta’s answer, they’re deliberate neologisms, chosen to loosely echo the Greek Latin numbers –
- Mōnstrō and mōnstrum - how exactly are they related?
A number of dictionaries suggest that in Classical Latin, the register of the verb mōnstrō was not as neutral as the translation "to point out" would suggest: it seems to not be used in Caesar or Sallust and to be uncommon in Cicero, suggesting that it may have originally been a part of familiar language rather than a formal word

- How do I say Perfect body in Latin?
The best translation depends on what you are after, exactly Your choice sounds pretty mechanical in flavor When Frankenstein finishes building his monster, he could well exclaim corpus perfectum! to declare the completion of the beast It could conceivably mean "perfect body" as well, but that would not be my first interpretation without context
- Sextus Empiricus and Latin - Latin Language Stack Exchange
Lots of scholars recommend Cassell's, which I own, and it's fine, but I much prefer to use Traupman's for a variety of reasons These are good for keeping in your backpack or on your end table, and I own several of these But for really hard words, you'll still need the monster, Lewis and Short But what you will really need is perseverance
