"Omne ignotum pro magnifico" is pronounced as "OM-neh ig-NO-tum pro mag-NIF-ih-ko." The emphasis is typically placed on the second syllable of "ignotum" and the third syllable of "magnifico." Each Latin word is pronounced with clear, distinct syllables.
Holmes' phrase "omne ignotum pro magnifico" translates to "everything unknown is taken to be magnificent." It suggests that people often perceive the unknown or unfamiliar as grand or impressive, attributing positive qualities to it simply due to its mystery. This reflects a tendency to romanticize or idealize what we do not understand. In the context of Holmes' work, it highlights the allure of the unknown and the human inclination to imagine possibilities beyond our current knowledge.
It means "All unknown things for great is/are", or, less literally, "Everything unknown is considered great." I'm not sure if "est" belongs there or not; most citations of the phrase I'm aware of don't have it and just end after "magnifico".
