Cadit quaestio
Cadit quaestio, Latin for "the question falls," is a legal term used to indicate that a dispute or issue has been reached, and is now resolved. In English, there is a similar idiom when people say that "the shoe has dropped."
Cadit is the third person singular indicative active of the irregular Latin verb cado and quaestio is the nominative singular form of a third declension noun. These two words, together, form a sentence complete unto itself.
