I’m sure a Jesuit taught Latin scholar knows this very well

Word Origin and History for su-per-cil-i-ous

adj.

1520s, from Latin superciliosus “haughty, arrogant,” from supercilium “haughty demeanor, pride,” literally “eyebrow” (via notion of raising the eyebrow to express haughtiness), from super “above” (see super- ) + second element akin to cilium “eyelid,” related to celare “to cover, hide,” from PIE root *kel- “to conceal”

Thanks, I didn’t know Mr Eyebrow was Jesuit trained.

Jesuit trained liberals may be as dangerous to us as Ivy League Lawyers like Obozo, the Clintoons, Lynch and________.
