The Latin equivalent of the English noun 'test' is examen. Its literal meaning is 'swarm' of bees or of wasps. Among its looser translations is the choice of 'crowd, shoal, throng'. Another of its looser translations is 'the tongue of a balance'. Still another of its looser translations is what concerns us here: 'testing, consideration'.
