I am looking for the meaning of the word: Quo I believe it is a latin word which could mean 'where' (as in Quo Vadis) and 'what' (Quo moto). Am I correct in assuming that Quo could mean both where & what? What other meanings could Quo represent. Thanks, Pat79 |

Howdy pat79-ga, The Wiktionary website provides the forms/meanings of the Latin word "quo." I have added some examples. http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/quo Pronoun - who[m] [de quo hic liber multa dicit - about whom this book says many things] - which [Status quo - State in which (things are)] - what [Quid pro quo. - What for what.] Adverb - where [Quo vadis? - Where are you going?] Conjunction - what If you need any clarification, please feel free to ask. Search strategy: Referenced the Wiktionary. http://en.wiktionary.org Various searches on "quo" and other terms, such as "who," "which" and "what."
