Don’t you just love filler text!? Hmmm lovely filler text, thank you so muuuuch.
A PRIORI 1710, “from cause to effect,” a Latin term in logic from c. 1300, in reference to reasoning from antecedent to consequent, based on causes and first principles, literally “from what comes first,” from priori , ablative of prior “first” (see prior (adj.)). Opposed to a posteriori.
Since c. 1840, based on Kant,used more loosely for “cognitions which, though they may come to us in experience, have their origin in the nature of the mind, and are independent of experience” … The a is the usual form of Latin ab “off, of, away from” before consonants (see ab-).

A POSTERIORI 17c., in reference to reasoning from a consequent to its antecedent, from an effect to its cause; Latin, literally “from what comes after;” from a “off, away from,” usual form of ab before consonants (see ab-) + posteriori, neuter ablative of posterius, comparative of posterus “after, subsequent,” from post “after”(see post-). Opposed to a priori.
In modern use (from c. 1830, based on Kant) roughly equivalent to”from experience.”Source: https://www.etymonline.com/word/a posteriori
AD HOC Latin phrase, “to this, with respect to this, for this (specific purpose),” from ad “to” (see ad-) + hoc, neuter accusative of hic “this.” Hence, “appointed or enacted for some particular purpose” (1879). https://www.etymonline.com/word/ad hoc
SINE QUA NON (OR CONDICIO SINE QUA NON) is an indispensable and essential action, condition, or ingredient. It was originally a Latin legal term for “[a condition] without which it could not be”, “but for…”, or “without which [there is] nothing.” Also, “sine qua non causation” is the formal terminology for “but-for causation.”(Source: Wikipedia)
