terra, -ae, f., earth, ground, land

Aeneid 1.13-15, 'Karthago ... quam Iuno fertur terris magis omnibus unam ... coluisse' (Carthage ... which alone Juno is said to have cherished more than all the lands). cf. terrestris, -e, of or belonging to the earth or to the land. Eng., terrestrial, of or relating to the earth or its inhabitants. Thoreau's Journal, 25-May-1851: Men will pay something to look into a traveling showman’s box, but not to look upon the fairest prospects on the earth. A vista where you have the near green horizon contrasted with the blue one, terrestrial with celestial earth. The prospect of a vast horizon must be accessible in our neighborhood. Where men of enlarged views may be educated. An unchangeable kind of wealth, a real estate.
