Fascinating! The Dutch word "vrolijk" does not mean frolic. "Vrolijk" translate to English as happy, merry, or joyful. I can see now where it is coming from, where it might have used to mean hopping/darting/skipping around with joy. :)
I'm a huge fan of your work and after a recent conversation, I'm curious about the etymological root of the following words Magnetite Magnet Magnitude - (magnus) Magnificent I think that could be a potentially interesting video. Thank you so much for what you do
Do you know why basil and basilisk didn’t end up taking the v-ish sound from basileus. Was it just that the Romans had adopted it before the Greeks had made the switch. I guess our Basileus is more of a Roman pronunciation
Yes, that's right -- both words came into Latin before that sound changed in Greek, and then came down to English via medieval Latin and French, so the 'b' never became 'v'.
Yeah, I wish I knew enough about the detailed development of the Romance languages to branch out! But French and a Latin definitely come up a lot, with occasional forays into Spanish and Italian. :)

Thank you so much for what you do
Thank you so much! And that’s an interesting suggestion-two surprisingly *un*connected roots, on the face of it.
This is one of the few channels that I have to slow down to normal speed.
So "Reptile" can mean "Creeper".
Yes, pretty much.
A nice production

Great ❤️
Is there a etymological relation between the words "form" and "morph"?
👍
I’m just sad you don’t make Romance languages etymology hahaha
But there’s some Latin here and there, and it’s nice to learn English
