I can only use the definitions in the dictionary, in the Wikipedia, and the UN. I’m not going to go with your off-the-cuff rejection of the dictionary.
You probably know more latin than you realize. Ad lib, Alias, Alibi ,Alma mater ,Alter ego, Ante meridiam/Post meridiam, Bona fide ,Carpe diem, Caveat, Consensus, Ergo, Et cetera, In memoriam, Magnum opus, Per capita, Per se, Pro bono, Status quo, Veni vidi vici, Verbatim, and Vice versa are latin words that are still commonly used across all languages.

Latin, a language used for thousands of years is far from off-the-cuff.
It’s pointless for us to argue over dictionary definitions.
Latin is pretty basic, says what it means by design.
English… we are speaking English.
Then don’t use Latin.
Agreed, I wont use Latin, I don’t know it. As a bonus, I wont use greek either.
I’ll stick to English as defined by a dictionary
