I Also Have No Knowledge Whatsoever About Latin Or Whatever Language “carpe Diem” Is Derived From - Blog Posts

Thoughts on this:

Carpe diem = sieze the day

Carpals/ metacarpals = bones in the hand

"Carpe diem" and "carpals" have a similar root.

"Carpe" is presumably "to sieze" and you use the hand, and consequently the bones in the hand, to grab something.

Grab = sieze

Therefore, the carpals are used to Carpe diem.
