Senate originally signified a council of elders; for the Ro- mans committed the public concerns to men of age and ex- perience. The maxim of wise men was – old men for coun- sel, young men for war. But in modern times the senatorial dignity is not always connected with age. Reproachful language is contumelious or contemptuous. Bitter and sarcastic language is acrimonious. Simultaneous acts are those that happen at the same time. Many things are lawful but not expedient.
