I thought Aquent was previously Remedy. Was Remedy a corporate sibling of MacTemps, or (among other possibilities) is my memory corrupted?

By the way, even if a New York Times reporter swallowed it, Aquent certainly is not Latin for ‘not a follower’. Apparently some genius combined the Greek negative prefix a– with a syllable arbitrarily amputated from Latin sequent ‘following’. —Tamfang (talk) 00:14, 25 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

Aquent is a science term in geology, referring to a certain kind of waterlogged sand. I don't think the company was even aware of this when they renamed themselves with that word. 108.26.212.253 (talk) 01:27, 7 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
