The word "hermeneutic" is "hermenuo" in Greek (interpretation). Does anyone know in Latin what "hermeneutics" menas, or what words make it up?

Matthew,
I looked in a few books, including Muller's Dictionary of Latin and Greek Theological Terms, and could find nothing. I looked in a Latin dictionary as well and found nothing. That, of course, does not mean something does not exist, just that I can't find it. Seems like there would be a Latin equivalent somewhere.

I am guessing that it is something like interpretatio, which is how the Vulgate translates the noun e`rmhnei,a in 1 Cor 12:10.
The verb is similar, interpreto.
