List of English Latinates of Germanic origin: Difference between revisions

Many words in the English lexicon are made up of Latinate words; that is, words which have entered the English language from a Romance language (usually Anglo-Norman), or were borrowed directly from Latin. Quite a few of these words can further trace their origins back to a Germanic source (usually Frankish^[1]), making them cognate with many native English words from Old English, yielding etymological twins. Many of these are Franco-German words, or French words of Germanic origin.^[2]

Below is a list of Germanic words, names and affixes which have come into English via Latin or a Romance language.
