Potentia

Potentia, a Latin term meaning "potential" or "power," refers to the capacity or ability of something to develop, produce, or achieve a particular outcome in the future. In simple terms, it's about the untapped or hidden strength that could be realized under the right conditions. For example, a seed has the potentia to grow into a large tree, given proper water, soil, and sunlight. In broader contexts, it highlights the possible future capabilities or achievements that are not yet realized but could be attained with effort or opportunity.
