Aurium Daily #60 - The Vehicle of Your Life

Today's topic is etymology!

This professional term came from the Latin term for a vehicle, usually used in ancient warfare and racing. This eventually came to mean the course of one's public life. What is this word and what was the original term in Latin?

Hint: This is Egyptian, but is still a hint

Here is the answer to yesterday’s question!

The answer is Lisa Kudrow, who played the roles of Ursula Buffay in Mad About You - a sitcom in the 90s - and Ursula's twin Phoebe Buffay (or Regina Phalange if you'd like) in F.R.I.E.N.D.S!

As always, the answer will be released tomorrow on the next issue of Aurium Daily - until then, put your answers in the comments!

See you tomorrow!
