When I first encountered this text, I did what any Latin geek willâset about trying to translate it. But it wasnât long before I realized that Lorem Ipsum is mostly gibberish, a garbling of Latin that makes no real sense. The first word, âLorem,â isnât even a word; instead itâs a piece of the word âdolorem,â meaning pain, suffering, or sorrow. So where did this mash-up of Latin-like syntax come from, and how did it get so scrambled?
