Pro securo habetur quod ex voluntate descendit
Latin to English
Law/Patents
Law: Contract(s)
This is a sentence in a French discussion about theory and practice in international law. It is preceded by an assertion that in interpreting a particular clause, precedence must be given to the will of the co-contracting parties, and then the comment: "Positivists know: 'Pro securo habetur quod ex voluntate descendit.'"
My guess is something like: "For security it is what comes from the will." But it's been years since I've studied Latin.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

That which proceeds from the will is regarded as sure.
There might be a more elegant way of wording this, but I think my translation shows the structure and the basic sense. For the sense of 'descendo', I think this is Lewis and Short II B 3
