The word 'vatican' comes from Latin and is a contraction of two words in the following way: 'Vatis' = 'profetic' or 'diviner' 'Can' = 'serpent/snake'.

And, like grace, itâs a word most of us would not suspect of being Latinate: prayer. But dictionaries tell us that our verb to pray originates with the Latin verb precari, meaning, beg, implore, entreat, supplicate.

The Latin source for this word is trinitatem, the term for the number three.
