The meaning in English of the Latin word 'confutatis' is the following: having been silenced. For the word derives from the Latin verb 'confutare', which means 'to check the boiling point of a liquid'. The word may go on to mean 'to check or repress' and 'to put down or silence'. The pronunciation is as follows: kohn-foo-TAH-tees.

The phrase confutatis maledictis appears in the the Latin Mass for the Dead, or Requiem Mass. It is what's known in Latin grammar as an ablative absolute, and is variously translated "When the accursed are confounded" or "when the damned are silenced".

In other circumstances, confutatis could also be a present-tense form of the same verb, meaning 'You (plural) are restraining/repressing".

While the accursed are silenced is the English equivalent of 'confutatis maledictis'. In the word by word translation, the participle 'confutatis' means 'silenced'. The noun 'maledictis' means 'the accursed'.

What is the English translation of the Latin phrase Oro supplex et acclinis?

The line is from the "Confutatis" section of Mozart's "Requiem," K 626. Oro means "I pray" or "I beg"; supplex and acclinis are both nominative singular adjectives that refer to the speaker. Supplex means "humble, beseeching, suppliant"; acclinis means literally "leaning" or "inclined", but in Medieval religious Latin often "bowing".The literal translation of the line is thus "I pray, humble and bowing". However, Latin adjectives that describe the subject are often better translated into English as adverbs, so a smoother rendering might be "Bowing, I humbly pray".
