I'm surprised I got that right because my Latin is really bad. I thought 'in loco parentis' meant 'My father is a train driver'!

knowbrains, Reading and helping my son with his Latin, plus Nurses training paid off for me. Plus, I love exploring the etymology of languages.

Since we use the word "via" in the English language too--I will get there via train, I guessed road (by way of).

A long overdue trivia question about the word “trivia” itself. Love it

Thank you, Italian! I knew “via” was road or way, and “tri” is a prefix for 3. 👍
