Latin Word

     When we were going over the syllabus in world history on the second day of school, one of the things we were discussing was classroom decorum.  Decorum means behavior and it reminds me of other Latin words because it ends in "um."  That ending is used for neuter words.  It is also used for accusative singular in second declension as well as genitive plural in third declension.  Those who have good classroom decorum learn well so they become well-educated and are able to get into a good college.
