Etymology and Pronunciation

Lorem Ispum is a pseudo-Latin text used in web design, typography, layout, and printing in place of English to emphasise design elements over content. The phrase is truncated from Latin do‌lōrem (pain) and ipsum (itself) from Cicero's De finibus bonorum et malorum, Liber Primus, 1:32.
