346: amen Nov 19, 2015

The word 'amen' was not always solely religious contexts.The word derives from Old English through ecclesiastical Latin. By that time it was accepted as a solemn expression of belief into the translated Old Testament, or more accurately, the Septuagint. Before that time, the Greek amēn, and Hebrew 'āmēn, meaning ‘truth, certainty,’ was used adverbially as expression of agreement.
