Re: OT- Word of the day.

Yes I find if you know a bit of latin you have a vague idea of what romance words are. a large proportion of english is stolen from french (albeit a thousand years ago) almost the rest is germanic (which I mostly know from military study) and the rest are words the empire stole from anyone they conquered.

edit: just realised I am doing what Alneyan warned of, turning this into a etymological discussion.
