in reply to The right word for an argument

Does that lead to transitus, transita, transeuntes, transeuntes, et cetera? And does that lead to a lakh of list wars about pluralization and doubts of arguments? I think your title mostly answers itself: is there a correct equivalent for 1?

(Not trying to be super snarky, just having fun! I think it's a good question to ask: "argument" is probably the best choice as it's in wide use and in JS, at least, there is even an arguments object in functions.)

    I think we should form a committe that will be in charge of issues like pluralization and propagating this terminology to the masses. My 2 cents for the plural form of transitum is transita but I lack a broad background in Latin.

    Hmm, list wars are inevitable; see Clausewitz. But because transitum is a neuter singular, the only possible plural is transita.
