This thread is for anything etymology related! Over the past year or so I really had developed a fascination with finding out the origins of last names and first names , and that had ultimately led to word etymology across the board! If you would like to share any cool tidbits of etymology please share! Any language is fine! I'll share the one I learned today, what had lead me to it was I've been learning Spanish recently and I saw on a spray paint can the word , contiene ( I've been randomly trying to read Spanish on products that have translations) Which tiene/tienes in Spanish is has/have , con is with , with-having it's obvious our word contains and contiene have a Latin origin and thusly contain (v.) c. 1300, "restrain (someone), control (oneself), behave (in a certain way)," from Old French contein-, tonic stem of contenir, from Latin continere (transitive) "to hold together, enclose," from assimilated form of com "with, together" (see con-) + tenere "to hold" (from PIE root *ten- "to stretch"). I will add some more etymology later! I've got many in mind that I've already discovered that I think are worth adding ![]()
