ARETE is "earring" in Spanish and PRIMA is "female cousin" in Spanish.


Not exactly awe-inspiring names for business teams.

They're using the Greek word arete which means personal excellence which the ancient Greeks considered to be a virtue. However, they're also mispronouncing it. It's not artay or ar-ah-tay or a-reht-tay, it's pronounced ah-reht-TEE.
