Dead language. Living vocabulary.

Every time you open a new tab, Lexis Arcana teaches you a little Latin — a proverb that shaped Western thought, or a root word hiding inside the English you already speak. No app to open. No habit to build. Just open a tab and learn something.

Over 400 items of content. Zero effort required.

WHAT YOU GET

228 Latin proverbs drawn from Roman literature, philosophy, law, science, and everyday speech. These are the phrases that shaped centuries of Western writing — the ones that show up in courtrooms, medical journals, and the margins of old books.

229 Latin root words covering the most common building blocks of the English language. Learn that "contra" means "against" and suddenly contradict, controversy, contravene, and contrary all make sense at once. Latin roots are a cheat code for English vocabulary.

HOW IT WORKS

Open a new tab. Read something. That is it.

Lexis Arcana quietly replaces your new tab page with a single Latin item — phrase or root — and its English meaning. No clutter. No dashboard. No sign-in. Just the content, front and center.

FOUR MODES TO LEARN YOUR WAY

Proverbs — classic Latin phrases with English translations. Perfect for picking up phrases that still appear in modern writing, law, medicine, and science.

Roots — Latin root words with meaning, origin, and real English derivatives. Understand roots and you unlock patterns across thousands of English words at once.

Random — alternates between proverbs and roots so every tab is a surprise.

Quiz — type your answer and test what you actually know. The quiz uses a weighted selection algorithm that surfaces items you have seen less often, so you spend more time on the things you have not learned yet. Fuzzy matching means you will not fail for a missing comma.

FEATURES AT A GLANCE

- Dual-language search — find any proverb or root by Latin text or English meaning simultaneously, with match highlighting
- Compendium — a full browseable catalog of every item with view counts, favorites, filters, and sortable columns
- Favorite any entry from the new tab page or the Compendium
- View counts so you know what you have already seen
- Optional English word examples for every root word
- Live settings sync — changing options in the popup updates any open new tab instantly
- All settings sync across your devices via Chrome storage
- Spacebar to refresh to a new item instantly

LatTab replaces your new tab page with a bite-sized Latin lesson. Every time you open a new tab, you see a Latin proverb or Latin root word complete with its meaning, origin, and real English words derived from it. It is a low-effort, high-reward way to build your Latin vocabulary over time.

MODES

Proverbs - classic Latin phrases from Roman literature, law, and philosophy, each with an English translation.

Roots - Latin root words with their meaning, origin language, and English words that derive from them (e.g. "contra/o" means "against, opposite" giving us contradict, controversy, contravene).

Random - alternates between proverbs and roots on each new tab.

Quiz - test yourself with Latin-to-English and English-to-Latin prompts. Items you have seen less often appear more frequently, so you naturally review unfamiliar material first. Answers are fuzzy-matched so minor punctuation differences do not count against you.

- Over 200 Latin root words covering roots from A to X
- Search by Latin text or English meaning with wildcard support
