Etymology of some spanish words 2
23 February 2010 @ 17:01

      Acción = Action : From the Latin "Actionem", that comes from the verb "Agere" = "Hacer, poner en movimiento, conducir" = "To do, Set in motion, To drive".

       Advento (or better: Adviento) = Advent. From the Latin "Adventus" (Llegada, arrivo = arrival).

       This word is composed by the prefix "Ad" and the participle of the verb "Venire" (Come)..And it has to do with another languages, like Italian, with "Gimti" = "Nacer" --perhaps of to "Llegar al mundo" = "To arrive to the world.In Sanskrit "Gamati" = "He goes".In old German: "Kuman" or in Anglo-Saxon: "Cuman" = "Venir".In modern English: "Come".The latin word gets, in the Christian world, at the begining of the Middle Ages, the time before  the arrival of Christ; that is, Christmas.
