Invisible chain?.....do Stronglight or TA still make them?.....Handbrake....looks like it but could be an optical illusion.
As for latin.....they don't tend to teach that at a Jewish school...perhaps too many papal/catholic overtones.....French...yes!....hence knowing velocipede is a French word.....and as French is a Romantic [not kissy kissy....of Roman origin]......it is fairly obvious that its rooTs would be in Latin.......Ars longa....vita brevis!!
