Adverb

 * 1) in Latin, in the Latin language

Usage notes
Besides being used where English uses the adverbial "in Latin", as in Latīnē litterās scrībere ("to write a letter in Latin") or Latīnē loquī ("to speak (in) Latin"), it is also used with many verbs that are normally transitive, and whose English translations often use a direct object: Latīnē scīre/ ("to know Latin"), eōs Latīnē docēre ("to teach them Latin"), Latīnē dēdiscere ("to forget/unlearn Latin").

When describing objects being in Latin, the adjective  is often used instead. With verbs of translation, if only the target language is mentioned, the adverb form may be used, e.g. Latīnē reddere ("to translate into Latin"), but usually the nominalized neuter singular adjective is preferred: ē Graecō in Latīnum aliquid vertere ("to translate something from Greek into Latin"). See the adjective entry for more information.

Lord

Etymology
See.

In reference to the God of the Jewish Tanakh and Christian Bible, originally a translation (attested from the late Old English form ) of the Vulgate, translating the New Testament and the Septuagint's Ancient Greek ὁ κύριος or Κύριος (ó kýrios, "the supreme one; Lord, Kyrios"), both in reference to Hebrew אֲדֹנָי (ʾdny, "my lord; my Lord, Adonai") from אדון (ʾdwn, "lord, patron; Lord") + י- (-y, "my"), cognate with Phoenician 𐤀𐤃𐤍 (ʾdn, "lord; Lord, Adon"). Adonai appears in the Tanakh both directly and as a euphemism read aloud during occurrences of the  (YHWH, "I am what I am; Jehovah"). See the usage notes below. Displaced the earlier term.

Proper noun

 * 1) The Abrahamic deity of the Jewish, Christian, and Islamic faiths.
 * 2)  The God of Abraham and the Jewish scriptures.
 * 3)  God the Father; the Godhead.
 * 4)  Jesus Christ, God the Son.
 * 5) * 1582,, 1 Corinth. 12:3:
 * Therfore I doe you to vnderſtand that no má ſpeaking in the Spirit of God, ſaith anáthema to I ESVS . And no man can ſay, Our Lord I ESVS : but in the holy Ghoſt.
 * 1)  Any other deity particularly important to a religion or a worshipper.
 * , originally a nickname for someone who either acted as if he were a lord or had worked in a lord's household.

 * , originally a nickname for someone who either acted as if he were a lord or had worked in a lord's household.

Usage notes
In monotheistic contexts (including Trinitarian Christianity), the term is used absolutely: "the Lord". In reference to Jesus, it is often expressed as "Our Lord" or "Our Lord and Savior". (Note, however, that Mormonism typically distinguishes "the Lord" as describing Jesus and "God" as describing Elohim, the God of Abraham.)

In many English Bibles, references in the Hebrew Tanakh to the name of God (YHWH) or the title Adonai, are distinguished by capitalizing the former as "Lord" and the latter as "LORD", "", "", etc. Similarly, "Lord God", "Lord GOD", etc. translate the dual form "Adonai YHWH;" and "Lord of Hosts" (etc.) translates the form YHWH Sabaoth.

Usage notes
The title is usually understood as one borne by men, and  is its usual female equivalent. For example, King William IV of the United Kingdom was styled Lord of Mann and, upon his death, his niece Victoria was styled Lady of Mann. Modern usage is not always so clear, however, and "lord" may now refer to either male or female bearers of a title. For example, Queen Elizabeth II was styled "the Queen, Lord of Mann".

Lord is the formal title of only a few British nobles. It is, however, traditionally used as a title and form of address for all members of the British peerage, including the Lords Spiritual (the 26 bishops of the established Church of England). In present practice, dukes are instead styled "Your" or "His Grace" and the Lords Spiritual are usually styled "Lord Bishop". In Scotland, the title Lord of Parliament, often shortened to Lord, is used instead of Baron. The younger sons of dukes and marquesses also bear the courtesy title of lord.
