Across

1 Latin: "sower" — and the opening word of an ancient Roman word-square.
6 Latin word of uncertain meaning — likely a proper name. The puzzle's enigma.
7 Latin: "(he or she) holds." Also the title of a 2020 Christopher Nolan film.
8 Latin plural of "opus" — "works." Also Italian for the same.
9 Latin: "wheels." Or, as a verb: "(you) turn."
