Actually the term is C.E., and it literally means our "common era." It referrs to the era that began with the birth of Christ. It is often used in place of the term A.D., which means "ano domini," which when translated means "in the year of our Lord."

Where did the term ace come from?

The word "ace" comes from the Old French word 'as' (from Latin 'as') meaning 'a unit', from the name of a small Roman coin. It originally meant the side of a die with only one mark, before it was a term for a playing card. Since this was the lowest roll of the die, it traditionally meant 'bad luck' in Middle English, but as the ace is often the highest playing card, its meaning has changed to mean 'high-quality, excellence'.
