Scīre Licit. Latin. "It is permitted to know."

A more modern term that comes from this:

scil·i·cet (sĭl'ĭ-sět', skē'lĭ-kět')
adv. Abbr. sc. or ss.
That is to say; namely.

[Middle English, from Latin scīlicet, contraction of scīre licet, it is permitted to know : scīre, to know; see skei- in Indo-European roots + licet, third person sing. of licēre, to be permitted.]

I realized that I needed to start a blog. There are things that I can no longer keep to myself. I start to sign up for Blogger, and I need a name. The dictionary opens to this entry. Sometimes I believe in fate. If not fate, then the meeting of cosmic energies. Either or another, the idea or the word: it works.
