Was it borrowed directly from Classical Latin (as opposed to being directly inherited), or was it not originally a Latin word at all?GrandPiano wrote: ↑18 Oct 2018 22:44 A small hint, but maybe it will help: One of the words was not directly inherited from Latin.

Re: Guess the Word in Romlangs
Neither; it ultimately comes from a Latin word but it was borrowed from a language other than Latin.shimobaatar wrote: ↑23 Oct 2018 03:13Was it borrowed directly from Classical Latin (as opposed to being directly inherited), or was it not originally a Latin word at all?GrandPiano wrote: ↑18 Oct 2018 22:44 A small hint, but maybe it will help: One of the words was not directly inherited from Latin.

Re: Guess the Word in Romlangs
It may help to find out what language it’s borrowed from.
Re: Guess the Word in Romlangs
Was it borrowed from one of the "main" Romance languages (Spanish, Portugueses, French, Italian, Romanian)?

Re: Guess the Word in Romlangs
Was it borrowed from Spanish or Portuguese?
