<p>I had the same doubt.<p>Here is my uneducated guess:<p>In math, after sum and product, comes exponent :)<p>So they may have used that third term in an analogous manner in the example.</p>

<p>Nice one :)<p>I too can sling a bit of Latin. ;)<p>Here is one phrase, in which one word, malus, is like an off-by-one error from your manus word, so to speak :) :<p>nemo malus nisi probetur<p><a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=nemo+malus+nisi+probetur" rel="nofollow">https://www.google.com/search?q=nemo+malus+nisi+probetur</a><p>From the AI overview (need to at least try that out a few times after all the talk about Google enshittification  like by Cory Doctorow in this year's PyCon US keynote:<p>>Nemo malus nisi probetur" is a Latin legal maxim that translates to "No one is evil unless proven." It signifies that a person is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. This principle is fundamental to legal systems that value fairness and due process, ensuring that accusations are substantiated before a person is considered culpable. 
Here's a breakdown of the phrase:<p><pre><code>    Nemo: No one
    malus: Evil, bad, wicked
    nisi: Unless
    probetur: Is proven, is shown, is demonstrated 
</code></pre>
The maxim essentially means that one should not be treated as inherently bad or guilty without sufficient evidence. This principle is closely related to the concept of "presumption of innocence" and is crucial for upholding justice and protecting individual rights.</p>
