Spes
expectatio de incertis rerum futurarum eventis / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Spes est status qui desiderium exituum exoptatorum promovet qui ad eventus et condiciones in vita sui vel ad summam pertinent, ut in locutione "Spero [spem habeo] te in inferis putrefacturum esse."[1] Desperatio saepe contrarium spei habetur.[2]

Spes est "sententia quod desideratum haberi posse vel eventus praevalere," sive actus "anticipa[ndi] rem cum appetitione et fide modica," sive "sentire desideratum fieri posse."[3][4] Inter alias definitiones sunt "colere desiderium per anticipationem" et "desiderare in exspectatione adipiscendi" et "exspectare confidenter."[5][6]
