Seize the territory!

What can Latin do for you? This article came my way, and I was happy to read (again) about the benefits of studying Latin. I am also interested in the company name, Capterra. It looks like a word formed from two Latin roots, cap (from capiō, capere, cēpī, captum I take) and terra (from terra, ae f. land) yielding a possible meaning of "Take the land!" When you read the name out loud, however, you may hear "Cap'terra," a word that could suggest "Capture!" This company may wish to capture your business!
