- It's middle English - not sure how to format that. SemperBlotto (talk) 19:43, 11 June 2019 (UTC)
- @SemperBlotto I changed the definition now, what do you think?

- It is borrowed from Latin as a part of a phrase from Horace, am I correct? Rhinozz1 (talk) 12:54, 11 June 2019 (UTC)
- That is the Latin word, the RFV is for the English word of the same spelling, purportedly meaning air. - TheDaveRoss 12:51, 12 June 2019 (UTC)
- Here's a WordReference section showing it as English. Aere Perennius is a quotation used in English as a metaphor, like "bon voyage", "faux pas", "fait accompli", or "bona fide." Bona fide is actually Latin itself, yet it is shown here as a dictionary entry.--Rhinozz1 (talk) 17:00, 12 June 2019 (UTC)
- @Rhinozz1: there are some phrases which have been adopted into English from foreign languages, but the component words of the phrases have not. Bona fide is a great example of this, aere perennius is perhaps another. That isn't actually relevant, though, since the sense in question is not the same as the component of the Latin phrase, but a wholly different word meaning air. In the Latin phrase aere perennius aere means bronze not air. - TheDaveRoss 17:12, 12 June 2019 (UTC)
- Thank you for clarifying, I will change the definition.--Rhinozz1 (talk) 17:21, 12 June 2019 (UTC)
