REALLY Copy link • REALLYre: re vera: reapse: re et veritate (really, not in words only): sane: profecto (assuredly, words of asseveration). Sometimes “really” is omitted (e.g., multis, ut erat, atrox videbatur ejus sententia): so after “if” followed by “any,” sensus moriendi, si aliquis esse potest (if there really can be any); and after quam following a comparative, procerior quam erat (than he really was). Ironically, in a reply, itane vero? (implying that the thing is absurd): ain tu? (an expression of surprise at an assertion).
