I need the spelling of a Latin phrase sounding like NOS PATUR ASSOCE
meaning the meaning of unclear words can be gathered from the context,
and it is closely associated with ejusdem generis

Hello.

The phrase is  "noscitur a sociis" ("know it from its associates").

see:
"The immediately surrounding words of the legislation:
-noscitur a sociis and ejusdem generis "

" noscitur a sociis(Lat)
?Know it from its associates?. The meaning or interpretation of a word
can be gathered from the context or by reference to the meaning of the
words associated with it...  cf. ejusdem generis."

"noscitur a sociis" 

Thanks.

Response was really quick.  Fantastic
