viaticus
Viaticus is a Latin term which literally means "pertaining to a journey." In a historical or religious context, it often refers to the provision received or blessed before embarking on a journey, such as the Eucharist given to a person at the point of death as part of the Catholic last rites. In a modern context, it might also refer to viatical settlements, where a person with a terminal illness sells their life insurance policy to a third party for immediate funds.
