Lexis Arcana — Latin Roots & Proverbs

LatTab replaces your new tab page with a bite-sized Latin lesson. Every time you open a new tab, you see a Latin proverb or Latin root word complete with its meaning, origin, and real English words derived from it. It is a low-effort, high-reward way to build your Latin vocabulary over time.

MODES

Proverbs - classic Latin phrases from Roman literature, law, and philosophy, each with an English translation.

Roots - Latin root words with their meaning, origin language, and English words that derive from them (e.g. "contra/o" means "against, opposite" giving us contradict, controversy, contravene).

Random - alternates between proverbs and roots on each new tab.

Quiz - test yourself with Latin-to-English and English-to-Latin prompts. Items you have seen less often appear more frequently, so you naturally review unfamiliar material first. Answers are fuzzy-matched so minor punctuation differences do not count against you.
