I don't know what the latin means, but "onus" as in "the onus is on me to do <some job>" means it's my specific responsibility, no one else can/will do it.  I think.

There is a word onerous, but I can't think what it means, something negative I'd say :)

I'd say:

Oneris - Oneroso - Oneréux - Burdensome??? something related to impose a burden on someone.

Onus - burden seems right.

Or responsibility.

According to wiki (I call Victus like that :P) it's survivor.

Personally:

Victus - Victo (sustento diario) - ______ - would be like something that sustains life

So it could be considered as sustaining life -> staying alive -> survivor.

I'd be surprised if words like Victor, Victory, Victuals, weren't derived from that.

Don't despair.

From the phrase "Nil Desperandum, Auspice Deo."

lol I was too tired I slept all day...

I assume the rest of the phrase's words mean:

Auspice - Auspicio - Protection/Support

Deo - some sort of divinity

The Translation I would use is "Do not despair, have faith in God."

Close enough, I thought of "Do not despair, God protects you". Either way, the meaning is quite clear.

Now, we are waiting Trek :D.

Indeed, it means do not despair :D (literally "never despair" since there's no verb, but it was close enough :))

I must think harder... I GOT IT!!

Not sure about the first bit, but

"ad astra"

would be "to the stars".
