(from Medieval Latin: breath of the voice) a term used by French philosopher Roscellinus (1050-1125), founder of nominalism; means a mere name, word, or sound without a corresponding objective reality


For the question of universals, which is also the question not of particulars but of singularities, was at the heart of the old medieval controversy around nominalism: and the latter asserted that universals were little more than words and verbal abstractions, flatus vocis, which had no relevance to the world of truly individual things and items, a world of singularities
