COGANTES
- In a technical sense, two
words that have a
common origin are
cognates.
- Most often, cognates are words in two languages that have a common etymology and thus are
similar or identical.
- Cognates often have a similar meaning,
but in some cases the meaning has
changed over the centuries in one
language or another.
- In a popular and less technical
sense, the term ―cognate also is
used to refer to words in two
languages that are similar but
have no common origin.
- Also in a popular and not
technical sense, the phrase
―false cognate is used to
refer to cognates that have
different meanings.
- A more precise term
to use for such word
pairs is ―false
friends.
