What is the Latin word for science?
There sort of isn't one. The English word science comes from the Latin word scientia, but scientia doens't mean "science", it means "knowledge" (from the root scio, "I know, understand").
An actual citizen of the Roman empire talking about what we call "science" today would probably have used the word philosophia. This comes from a nearly identical Greek word meaning "love of knowledge".
Even in English, "science" in the sense we use it today is kind of a late development; the word has been around since about the 14th century, but it didn't start being commonly used in the modern sense until around the 19th century. Before that, what we now call "science" was usually referred to as "natural philosophy."
