| At least two of these are uninteresting insofar as they're related words. English "camera" comes from the same Late Latin word as Italian "camera"; similarly with "ante", which isn't really itself a bet, but rather the stake you put up *before* the betting, and therefore has the same root as Spanish "ante". (I wonder whether "bare" is related as well, since in English it has a similar meaning, especially as "barely".) |
