The English word cow is related to other Germanic words: Icelandic kýr and Swedish ko. These words are also connected to a surprising group of words across other Indo‑European branches thought to derive from a common Proto‑Indo‑European root, *gʷṓws, for example Irish bó, Latvian govs, and Armenian կով (kov).

Last map has ants in its pants#insects #map #mapologies #etymology #etymologymap #ant #ants #languagemap
Most European languages are united by a common thread: the word for ant. From the Galician formiga to the Romanian furnică, and from Greek μυρμήγκι (myrmígki) to Finnish muurahainen. Surprising, huh? We can find the traces of a single Proto-Indo-European ancestor: *mórwis.

Rice was first cultivated in the Far East as early as 10,000 years ago. From there, rice cultivation gradually spread westward. This movement is mirrored by the journey of the word for rice across languages. In English, the word rice comes from Old French ris, which was borrowed from Old Italian riso. That, in turn, derives from Byzantine Greek ὄρυζα (óruza).

A waiter or waitress is traditionally defined as a “servant who waits at tables.” In English, the emphasis is placed on the act of waiting. In Spanish, however, the focus tends to shift toward the table itself: One common term is mesero, derived from mesa (“table”). Another term used is mozo, which can mean “boy,” “servant,” or “waiter,” depending on the context.

Capsicum annuum or sweet pepper comes from the Greek peperi, from the Sanskrit pippalī, which originally referred to black pepper. After chili peppers were introduced to Europe, the name was extended to include them.
Paprika comes from Serbian papar, meaning “pepper,” from the Latin piper.
The Spanish word pimiento traces to Latin pigmentum, meaning “coloring,” reflecting the vibrant hues of the peppers. -

Wild #tomatoes (Solanum pimpinellifolium) are from South #America. Later Aztecs domesticated them in Mesoamerica. Most #languages, including #Spanish, adopted the #Aztec word from #Nahuatl, tomatl, meaning "the swelling fruit." #Italian Pietro Andrea Mattioli suggested that was a type of #eggplant. Later, Mattioli proposed a different nickname: pomi d'oro, or "golden #apples."

How do #languages count from 10 to 19? There is a surprising variety. Some say "number-ten", others "ten-number". Some use both:
Romance languages and Greek at some point change from "number + ten" to "ten + number". Germanic languages have a special roots from 11 and 12. -
Languages that are typically distinct find a common link in summer. While Romance and Baltic languages often differ, they share the P.I.E *wósr̥, "spring" and originally "becoming warmer." Portuguese "verão" and Latvian "vasara". Similarly, the German "Sommer" and Kurdish "havîn," despite their different appearances, both stem from the P.I.E root *semh₂-, "summer or half of the year."

Włochy in Polish and Olaszország in Hungarian are the names of Italy. Both names come from Latin Volcae, a Celtic tribal confederation.
However in the majority of the languages, the name comes from Oscan 𐌅𐌝𐌕𐌄𐌋𐌉𐌞 (víteliú), the land of young bulls. Oscan was an Italic language, similar to Latin, which was spoken in Southern Italy until CE 100.
