DEBEO:

Verbpresent active dēbeō, present infinitivedēbēre, perfect active dēbuī, supinedēbitum.
  1. I owe.
  2. I ought; I must; I should.

The original meaning was "owe" or "be under obligation".

It came to mean "ought", accompanied by the infinitive of whatever it is one

ought to do. "Ire debemus" means "We ought to go."

So the 'DEBEMUS' seems to mean what one 'Ought' to do or go.
