Question
Our company was founded in the early 70's as Vacuum Industrial Pollution. We have not offered those type services in over 25 years and go by the name VIP International. I would like to have some Latin words to present the V,I, P when people ask what does VIP stand for. Things like loyality, integrity, honesty, dependability, tenacious, safety, always ready, dedicated, teamwork, quality, experienced....... you get the idea. Can you help with this?
Thanks,
Jack

Answer
Hello,

If I’ve got your idea correctly, an acronym for V.I.P. could be in Latin “Virtus, Integritas, Perseverantia” where “Virtus” means “ virtue/ excellence/ courage/capacity”, “ Integritas “ means “Integrity”/”honesty”   and finally  “ Perseverantia” means “perseverance”/ “constancy”.

Best regards,
Maria
