| | Resolute, I scorn misfortunes | Explanation:
BdiL is basically right, this is just my tweaking the optimum translation. The one given on the heraldry page is OK but a bit loose.
sperno = remove, reject, scorn
adversa, plural of adversum = opposite, misfortune
fixus = fixed, fast, permanent; in this context "firm" but "resolute" or "unmoved" better usage
BTW I Googled the phrase with advertus, advertum, adventus, adventum, adversus, adversum, adversae, adversas... no joy. Only adversa.
