Dear colleagues,
this is supposedly a Latin word but I am not even sure as my Latin-Hungarian dictionary does not contain it. Nor did I find it on the internet. I need it badly and quite urgently for my journalist work. Can anyone kindly help me by telling me the English or Hungarian meaning of versitas? (NB it is NOT veritas, but versitas).
Thanx,
Moni

tendence, reduction (from "verso" > to go toward / "versus" > "direction"))
It's late/ scholastic Latin.
That's where "uni-versitas" comes from, for example, "sometihing tending to be one".
