verbum sapientiphr.

Brit.

/ˌvəːbəm ˌsapɪˈɛnti/, U.S.

/ˌvərbəm ˌsɑpiˈɛnti/

Origin: Formed within English, by clipping or shortening. Etymon: Latin verbum sapienti sat est.

Etymology: Short for post-classical Latin verbum sapienti sat est ‘a word is sufficient to a wise person’ (1606 in an English context, or earlier), apparently a combination of the similar classical Latin expressions verbum sat est (see verbum sat phr.) and dictum sapienti sat est , both of which are used by Plautus, the latter also by Terence. Compare verbum sap phr., verb sap phr.Variants of the Latin expression, verbum sapienti sat and verbum sapienti dictum sat est, are also recorded in English texts (from 1579 and 1594 (or earlier) respectively).

rare.

Used in place of making or concluding a full statement or explanation of something; = verb sap phr. Cf. verbum sap phr.
