Recently there was a discussion in the Italian forum, concerning the Latin word 'verbatim', which is sometimes used in Italian and other languages to say ''literally'' or 'word for word' (e.g. in a translation).
Most dictionaries of classical Latin do not contain this word, so it is presumably of medieval origin...
Can someone give me more information on the origin of 'verbatim', and tell me whether it can be legitimately considered a Latin word (or just a 'monstrous'...
