Latin: Hisorical Case Of The Month

I was working with the judge in Harris county who writes the Historical Case Of The Month for the HC District Clerk's website (this month's story is of the Astrodome). After going back and forth attempting to get the HTML formatting just right, he told me the Latin phrase 'imprimatur,' once he liked it.

For the students of Latin, any guesses, without looking it up?

Fun working with Judge Davidson on the website, he definitely has a passion for history.

Did the past students of Latin know? Great format on the article. Michael, your family might enjoy this website since they are Houstonians. Mom

Christian doesn't know that word yet, but guessed that it might mean good job or good work. He knows primus means first. Based on the ending, it may be a noun. I think we need to go look it up now!

I just told Michael about the word and he knew exactly what it was (and he was right, we found out after looking it up on Wikipedia). He said he used it in one of his papers. Does that make him a geek?
