WHAT DOES TEMPUS FUGIT MEAN IN ENGLISH?

tempus fugit

Tempus fugit

Tempus fugit is a Latin phrase, usually translated into English as "time flies". The expression comes from line 284 of book 3 of Vergil's Georgics, where is appears as FVGIT INREPARABILE TEMPVS: "it escapes, irretrievable time". The phrase is used in both its Latin and English forms as a proverb that "time's a-wasting". Tempus fugit, however, is typically employed as an admonition against sloth and procrastination rather than a motto in favor of licentiousness; the English form is often merely descriptive: "time flies like the wind", "time flies when you're having fun". The phrase's full appearance in the Georgics is: The phrase is a common motto, particularly on sundials and clocks.
