🏳️🌈 Linguistic Pride switch-up 🏳️🌈
The Germanic and Romance language families switched words for ‘pride’ with each other!
The Germanic languages borrowed the word pride from Latin prode ‘advantageous, useful’, but the Romance languages borrowed the word for ‘pride’ from Old English orgol, yielding French orgueil, Italian orgoglio, and Spanish orgullo.
And Catalan orgull
