You are partially wrong and that is NOT the only meaning. Who do you think first taught this in the English language and passed it down to York and Freemasons Apollo? Albert Pike or Manly Hall?

Sorry, but you are wrong. You seem to foolishly think that one must be a Freemason or Templar to know or teach these secrets. I will give you a hint and maybe you can call your GM in the Knights of Malta and ask him about the Poor Knights under the rose. And just FYI dude, it is about 1,000 years prior.
