• THING
res (in all the senses of the English word): negotium (business): ens (philosophical technical term, a being, τὰ ὄντα). The Latins also express “things” by the use of adjectives in the neuter plur.: as, shameful things, turpia: wonderful things, mira: things future, futura: or they employ proper substantives; e.g., silly, trifling things, nugae; ineptiae: a tedious, vexatious thing (i. e., business), lentum, molestum negotium: before all things, ante omnia; imprimis; praecipue (especially): that is not the right thing, aliquid doli subest (there is some cheating in it); hoc monstri simile est (it seems contrary to nature).
