From which language do we get the word palaver?
"Palaver sauce Palaver sauce or palava sauce or plasas is a type of stew widely eaten in West Africa, including Ghana, Liberia, Sierra Leone and Nigeria. The word ""palaver"" comes from the Portuguese language and means a talk, lengthy debate or quarrel. It is unclear how this led to the name of the stew. One theory is that when the stew was first made, with long, ropey greens, people would start quarrels by slapping each other with the greens from their stew. Another is that the spices used in the stew mingle together like raised voices in an argument. It"
"Paladar Paladar (plural: paladares) is a term that in Spanish translates literally to ""palate"" and used with that meaning in the Spanish speaking world, however in Cuba is used exclusively to refer to restaurants run by self-employers. Mostly family-run businesses, paladares are fundamentally directed to serve as a counterpart to state-run restaurants for tourists seeking a more vivid interaction with Cuban reality, and looking for homemade Cuban food. The term in popular usage has its origin in the Brazilian soap opera , shown in Cuba in the early 1990s. ""Paladar"" (Portuguese and Spanish for ""palate"") was the name of the"
"Hispanica"". The earliest recorded instance of the word ""paladin"" in the English language dates to 1592, in ""Delia"" (Sonnet XLVI) by Samuel Daniel. It entered English through the Middle French word ""paladin"", which itself derived from the Latin ""palatinus"". All these words for Charlemagne's Twelve Peers descend ultimately from the Latin ""palatinus,"" most likely through the Old French ""palatin"". The Latin ""palatinus"" referred to an official of the Roman Emperor connected to the imperial palace on the Palatine Hill. Over time this word came to refer to other high-level officials in the imperial, majestic and royal courts. The word palatine,"

Beyond its derivation from Latin ""labarum"", the etymology of the word is unclear. The Oxford English Dictionary offers no further derivation from within Latin. Some derive it from Latin /labāre/ 'to totter, to waver' (in the sense of the ""waving"" of a flag in the breeze) or ""laureum [vexillum]"" (""laurel standard""). An origin as a loan into Latin from a Celtic language or Basque has also been postulated. There is a traditional Basque"

Much of the vocabulary that is peculiar to Cuban Spanish comes from the different historic influences on the island. Many words come from the Canary Islands, but some words are of West African, French, or indigenous Taino origin, as well as peninsular Spanish influence from outside the Canary Islands, such as Andalusian or Galician. American English has lent several words, including some for clothing, such as ""pulóver"" [sic] (which is used to mean"
"Talwar The talwar (), also spelled ""talwaar"" and ""tulwar"", is a type of curved sword or sabre from the Indian Subcontinent, and is found in the modern countries of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Nepal. The word ""talwar"" originated from the Sanskrit word ""taravāri"" () which means ""one-edged sword"". The talwar originated alongside other curved swords such as the Persian shamshir, the Turkish kilij and the Afghan pulwar, all such swords being originally derived from earlier curved swords developed in Turkic Central Asia. The talwar typically does not have as radical a curve as the shamshir and only a very small"

(See History of the Spanish language and Phonological history of Spanish coronal fricatives for more information). Palatalization has played a major role in the history of English, and of other languages and language groups throughout the world, such as the Romance, Greek, Slavic, Baltic, Finnic, Swedish, Norwegian, Mordvinic, Samoyedic, Iranian, Indo-Aryan, Goidelic, Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Albanian, Arabic, and Micronesian languages.

The pulwar originated alongside other scimitar-type weapons such as the Arab saif, the Persian shamshir, the Turkish kilij, and the Indian talwar, all of them ultimately based on earlier Central Asian swords. Originally, the Khyber knife (""chhoora"" or ""chhara"") served as the weapon of the common people while upper-classes could afford to import swords from neighbouring Persia and India. Over time, the Afghans combined characteristics of the imported swords and adapted it to create the pulwar. Most existing"

Finally, it has received a steady influx of loanwords from other European languages, especially French and English. These are by far the most important languages when referring to loanwords. There are many examples such as: ""colchete""/""crochê"" ""bracket""/""crochet"", ""paletó"" ""jacket"", ""batom"" ""lipstick"", and ""filé""/""filete"" ""steak""/""slice"", ""rua"" ""street"" respectively, from French ""crochet"", ""paletot"", ""bâton"", ""filet"", ""rue""; and ""bife"" ""steak"", ""futebol"", ""revólver"", ""stock""/""estoque"", ""folclore"", from English ""beef"", ""football"", ""revolver"", ""stock"", ""folklore"".

The word ""olive"" comes through the Romance from the Latin word ""olīva"", which in turn comes from the Greek (""elaíwā""). A later Greek word, (""boútȳron"") becomes Latin ""butyrum"" and eventually English 'butter'. A large group of early borrowings, again transmitted first through Latin, then through various vernaculars, comes from Christian vocabulary: ""chair"" « καθέδρα (""cf.""

(Old Spanish ""paladino"" existed alongside its learned cognate ""palatino"", which usually referred to the Palatine Hill of Rome. Both words are derived ultimately from Latin ""palatīnus"" ""of the palace"", with influence from Latin ""palam"" ""openly"".) Today ""román paladino"" is a high-sounding epithet for clear, straightforward Spanish. Recently it has been popularized in public speeches by Spain's Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy, who has used it frequently as an equivalent for ""I will clearly state..."". In Spain, the Royal Spanish"

The English word ""vampire"" was borrowed (perhaps via French ""vampire"") from German ""Vampir"", in turn derived from Serbian ""vampir"", continuing Proto-Slavic ""*ǫpyrь"", although Polish scholar K. Stachowski has argued that the origin of the word is early Slavic ""*vąpěrь"", going back to Turkic ""oobyr"". Several European languages, including English, have borrowed the word ""polje"" (meaning ""large, flat plain"") directly from the former Yugoslav languages (i.e. Slovene, Croatian, and Serbian).

The English synonyms ""palate"" and ""palatum"", and also the related adjective ""palatine"" (as in palatine bone), are all from the Latin ""palatum"" via Old French ""palat"", words that, like their English derivatives, refer to the ""roof of the mouth."" The Latin word ""palatum"" and its derivatives mentioned above are all unrelated to a similar-sounding Latin word meaning palace, ""palatium"", from which other senses of ""palatine"" and the English word ""palace"" itself derive.

The language sense may have arisen from the notion of a clumsy or rough manner of speaking. In France and other Francophone countries, ""patois"" has been used to describe non-standard French and regional languages such as Picard, Occitan, and Franco-Provençal, since 1643, and Catalan after 1700, when the king Louis"

Evidence of panyarring prior to European contact is scant and not well documented, and it is generally believed to have been rarely used. The root of the word is based on the Portuguese words ""penhóràr"" (to distrain or to seize) and ""penhór"" (a surety or a pawn). When the Portuguese came to the Gold Coast in the"
"The English word lavender is generally thought to be derived from Old French ""lavandre"", ultimately from the Latin ""lavare"" (to wash), referring to the use of infusions of the plants. The botanic name ""Lavandula"" as used by Linnaeus is considered to be derived from this and other European vernacular names for the plants. However it is suggested that this explanation may be apocryphal, and that the name may actually be derived from Latin ""livere"", ""blueish"". The names widely used for some of the species, ""English lavender"", ""French lavender"" and ""Spanish lavender"" are all imprecisely applied. ""English lavender"" is commonly used"

In Irish the term ""fichillín"", a diminutive of ""ficheall"" (""chess"") is used, while in Thai the pawn is called เบี้ย (""bîia""), which signifies"
"convinces the wise if not the clever."" The word comes from the Greek παλινῳδία from πάλιν (""palin"", meaning 'back' or 'again') and ᾠδή (""song""); the Latin-derived equivalent ""recantation"" is an exact calque (""re-"" meaning 'back or 'again' and ""cant-"" meaning 'sing'). It can also be a recantation of a defamatory statement in Scots Law. Chaucer's Retraction is one example of a palinode. In 1895, Gelett Burgess wrote his famous poem, the Purple Cow: Later in his life, he followed it with this palinode: Ogden Nash wrote a palinode in relation to his most famous poem about the dandiness of candy,"

This in turn came ""via"" Ancient Greek from the Indo-European Aryan languages of ancient Iran, where it meant a walled enclosure or garden precinct with heavenly flowers planted by the Clercs (Clerics).
