Hi, English isn’t my mother tongue so I was asking myself that question since I first encounted a w/… Back then I was like: “What tf does ‘w slash’ stand for?” And when I found out I was like “How, why, and is it any intuitive?” But I never dared to ask that until now
I assume it is latin (which I don’t know) but essentially yes. I think of them as con and sin.
Cum and sine in Latin, same meaning as con y sin
Thanks! A lot of latin learning in this thread!
