sursum corda

Latinism taken from the preface of the Mass, used by the officiant since the 3rd century, when Christians were still persecuted, meaning "up hearts". The faithful answered: Habemus ad dominum, we have them raised to the Lord. The expression eventually became the noun sursuncorda, stereotypical character of great power for better or worse.
