What do you call the Latin name of legend?
Legend comes from the Latin legere, "to read." The Latin word was originally limited to written stories, but in English, legend lost that limitation. Often a legend lives on in the stories that people tell each other.
What is unique in Latin?
1600, "single, solitary," from French unique (16c.), from Latin unicus "only, single, sole, alone of its kind," from unus "one" (from PIE root *oi-no- "one, unique").
What is the Latin word for rare?
rarus : rare, uncommon / far apart / thin, scanty.
What is unstoppable in Latin?
The Latin word for 'unstoppable' is inexorable, which comes from the Latin prefix in- (meaning 'not') and the root exōrābilis (meaning 'that may be moved or persuaded by entreaty; exorable'). In other words, something that is inexorable cannot be stopped or dissuaded.
