: Where to capitalize, italicize, or use quotes when describing the Latin parts that make up a word? I am editing the sentence below: "The name was derived from two wordsâ€” "Fortis" meaning "Strong,"

I am editing the sentence below:

"The name was derived from two wordsâ€” "Fortis" meaning "Strong," and "Ventus" meaning "Wind."

I am fairly certain they should not all be in quotes, but I have Googled my heart out and I simply cannot find a straight-forward answer to a situation like this. How should the Latin forms be formatted (italicized without quotes, right?), and how should the definitions be formatted (I'm guessing not capitalized, but still in quotes)?

If there's a difference in this case, the style should be Chicago.

Thank you very much for your help!
