Latin: "of or pertaining to a saeculum (generation, century)". Definitions must be in English, saeculum is not an English word. I assume it's just laziness to avoid copying out the definitions of saeculum, but still, laziness is bad. Renard Migrant (talk) 21:19, 5 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I have to disagree with you in this instance, because it shows why the word has these senses, although I think more detail should be provided on the saecularis page as well. And I would prefer a construction with i.e. over parentheses.
