Even at remote periods such as the Roman "Mare Nostrum" era or the Late Middle Ages there have been so many exchanges between so many nations. Wherever we stand today we are heirs to this soup of cultures of which we actually know so little. | |
| Apr 14, 2011 at 14:08 | comment | added | Mitch | Wow. Thanks for the excellent links to online resources. So this makes me think that there's a whole multi-language cultural borrowing system going on, not just for this one word, and not just for English. Which leads to either a whole slew of other questions, or one big question... | |
