Sin Cera

Sin cera" is a phrase from Spanish, literally meaning "unwaxed". If anything, it really has no meaning on its own, but a long time ago, it had its reference in sculptors. When making a sculpture, many times sculptors made mistakes. Instead of getting costly marble and starting again, they repaired the mistake with wax. When a sculpture is made flawlessly, it is hailed as "sin cera" or without wax. Nowadays, it has its meaning as perfect, completely flawless. It also is the root word of the English word "sincere".
