peer agreement (net): +2More/Many from/out of Many Explanation: Both pluribus and plures have the same root, "plus, pluris." This is both "several, many" and also the compar. of "multus," meaning "more." E means out of/from/as a result of/ and governs the case of pluribus. This a clever take-off on the US slogan "E pluribus unum" (One from many) and fits the context of multicultural education rather nicely. |
