Word of the day: Castle

Latin "Castrum" evolved into late latin "castellum", a small roman fort used as watchtower or for signals.

Castrum went on to be "castro" in Spanish, a small iron age fortification, usually a circle-shaped celtic village with stone walls.

Castellum > old spanish "Castiello" > Castillo
plural of Castellum was "Castella" (Castles), that could be were the name of "Castilla" (land of castles) came from.

The english word "castle" simply comes from old english "castel" wich was also used in many other areas throughout europe and also comes from "Castellum"

Interesting. In America the word 'parole' means freedom for the black man.

>>77561108
here, parola means slogan

>>77561144
parole in that sense probably comes from the way "parole" can be used to say "promise" in french, as in, the guy detained promises to behave when hes freed or something ?
in spanish you can say "te doy mi palabra" (I give you my word - i promise / assure you)
