LATIN LOAN WORDS IN
ENGLISH LANGUAGE
Presented By Esther Rajathi
II M.A English Literature
BORROWING WORDS
Borrowing is the process of actually borrowing
words from foreign languages. The English
language has been borrowing words from nearly
a hundred languages in the last hundred years.
LATIN INFLUENCE ON ENGLISH
Latin influence on English language is heralded by England’s
contact with the Latin civilization. In the old English we find
much of the Latin words associated with agriculture and war.
Words like camp (battle), segn (banner), pil (pointed stick), mil
(mile) are early borrowing words.
THE HISTORY
With the Christianize of Britain in 597 A.D begins
another phase of Latin borrowing to define the new
conceptions, new religion, new ideas, and new faith.
After Constantine’s victory of Britain. Latin was made
the church’s official language. Prayer and Services were
conducted in Latin.
MIDDLE AGE
The translation of the Vulgate Bible
gives the English people words like
generation, ‘persecution’, and
‘transmigration’.
IN THE RENAISSANCE PERIOD
In the Renaissance the Latin words flood into English texts in
overwhelming proportion. Firstly, they are twain influenced by
French and Latin. Secondly, native words and French words
are remodelled into closer resemblance with their Latin
origins.
IN THE PRESENT-DAY SCENARIO
In the present-day scenario of the technical and scientific English,
Latin shares with Greek the honour of being the source of rich host of
new coinages. Words like ‘coaxial’, ‘fission’, ‘interstellar’, ‘neutron’,
‘mutant’, ‘penicillin’, ‘radium’, ‘spectrum’, ‘sulfa’ etc have become
an integral part of the English technical vocabulary.
SOME FAMOUS LATIN LOAN
WORDS
• Audio (technical)
• Bacteria (technical)
• church
• colour
• data
• emperor
• et cetera
• feminine
• formula
• genius
• honor
• immortality
• judge
• kitchen
CONCLUSION
The Latin loan words add enormous addition to the English
vocabulary. It fills up the gaps in the native stock of words. The
Latin epithets and synonyms give the masculinity in English. The
Latin dignifies and intellectualizes the English. Yet one can not
deny that excessive Latinization of English has stunned the growth
of native vocabulary.
THANK YOU !
