The word "Mass" comes from the Latin word missa (meaning to send forth), the idea being to go forth and spread the Good News.
It is one of the last words said during the Catholic worship service. At a time when most people were illiterate, the word came to be adopted by believers as a kind of nickname or shortcut for the official name which is "The Liturgy of the Eucharist of Our Lord Jesus Christ."
[Other examples are "Christmas" is a shortcut for the official "The Feast of the Nativity of Our Lord Jesus Christ According to the Flesh," or "Easter" is actually the nickname for "The Solemnity of the Resurrection from The Dead of Our Lord Jesus Christ."
Just about every Christian holiday has both a nickname and an official name.]

Should Roman Catholic Mass be held in Latin What is the point of it being heard in Latin if nobody can understand it?
In 1545, the Council of Trent established one uniform way to say the Mass: the Tridentine Mass, or more commonly known as the Latin Mass. The Latin Mass was the standard way of celebrating the Mass from the Council of Trent until the Second Vatican Council (Vatican II), which was held from 1962-1965. Therefore, the English Mass is fairly new. Since Masses were held in Latin, more people knew and understood the language, or at least the Mass parts. Everyone who was born in the year 1960 or before probably remembers when Mass was celebrated in Latin and also remembers some of the responses, as well as what they mean. Now that Mass is commonly celebrated in English in the United States, less people know the Latin form of the Mass. Some don't even know that there is a Latin Mass. However, it is possible to learn. I am posting a link that has both the English and Latin translations of the Mass parts.
