From The Awesome Diem (formerly Libra) Page [1]: Diem stems from the famous latin phrase 'Carpe Diem' translating to 'Enjoy the present, make the most of today', a common mistranslation is 'Seize the Day' (via Wiktionary) Carpe is the second-person singular present active imperative of carpō "pick or pluck" used by Horace to mean "enjoy, seize, use, make use of". Diem is the accusative of dies "day". A more literal translation of carpe diem would thus be "pluck the day as it is ripe" - that is, enjoy the moment. It has been argued by various authors that this interpretation is closer to Horace's original meaning (via Carpe diem @ Wikipedia) [1]: https://github.com/openblockchains/awesome-diem https://github.com/openblockchains/awesome-diem
