What is the Latin phrase for "in fact?"

Answer by  Dean (4035)

The Latin term for "in fact" is "de facto," which literally means "of fact." "In fact" generally means "in reality," so there are other ways to express it in Latin, but "de facto" is the most commonly used for this purpose. There are a number of inexpensive, easy-to-use English-Latin dictionaries in the bookstores if you'd care to have one handy.
