under your aegis: word of the day

...import that Greek into your academic paper and watch me wiki like mad...

aegis:  "is a large collar or cape worn in ancient times to display the protection provided by a high religious authority"
or
"The concept of doing something "under someone's aegis" now means doing something under the protection of a powerful, knowledgeable, or benevolent source"
