Look up vade mecum. What is its word-by-word translation? go with me

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The task asks you to go to etymonline and look up the phrase vade mecum to obtain its word-by-word translation.

Context: In Latin, compounds like vade mecum are often parsed as a pair of words that together form a set phrase, typically used in English with the sense of something you carry with you.

Option absence: In this particular item, there are no answer choices provided to evaluate. The only data given is the answer list containing "go with me" as the intended translation, and the answer_options field is empty.

Word-by-word analysis if we break down the Latin: 
- vade is the imperative form of the verb vadēre, meaning "go" or "you go" (command). It is addressing the person directly, telling them to go. 
- mecum is the enclitic pronoun combination of me (me) with cum (with), forming the independent clitic meaning "with me". When combined, mecum literally means "with me".

Putting them together, the literal, word-for-word translation of vade mecum is "go with me." This matches the provided answer in the data.

Why there might be no options to assess: Some systems supply multiple-choice options, but in this payload the answer_options array is empty. If you were to construct options, you would include variations such as a) "go with me" (literal), b) "with me go" (incorrect word order), c) "to go with me" (grammatical addition), d) "go with you" (incorrect object pronoun).

In summary, given the phrase vade mecum, the word-for-word translation is correctly captured by the entry "go with me", and the lack of answer options means there is nothing else to compare or judge for correctness within this item.
