WHAT DOES ARUSPICES MEAN IN ENGLISH?

aruspices

Haruspex

In the religion of Ancient Rome, a haruspex was a person trained to practice a form of divination called haruspicy the inspection of the entrails , hence also extispicy of sacrificed animals, especially the livers of sacrificed sheep and poultry. The reading of omens specifically from the liver is also known by the Greek term hepatoscopy. The Roman concept is directly derived from Etruscan religion, as one of the three branches of the disciplina Etrusca. Haruspicy as practiced by the Romans and Etruscans has direct precedents in the religions of the Ancient Near East since at least the Middle Bronze Age and apparently reached Italy via Anatolian transmission. The Latin terms haruspex, haruspicina are from an archaic word haru "entrails, intestines" and from the root spec- "to watch, observe". The Greek hēpatoskōpia is from hēpar "liver" and skop- "to examine"....
