https://mapologies.com/roots/ Horseradish is a type of radish, with spicy flavour and eaten by horses. However this is simply partly true — the only accurate part is its strong taste. It also belongs to the Brassicaceae family (along with cabbage, mustard and, yes, radish).

@hareldan You asked for it. Now deal with it: There are four main groups of etymological roots for “badger,” all sharing a common idea, the animal as a digger and burrow-builder. In the East: Turkic borsuk and Proto‑Slavic root *jàzvьcь " In the West: Proto‑Germanic *þahsuz from Proto‑Indo‑European *tótḱ‑us (from *tetḱ‑, “to weave, braid, add, establish, construct”). In the North: Proto‑Germanic *grabaną “to dig.” https://mapologies.com/animals/

In the East, Slavic languages share a common root, Proto-Slavic *žaba, with the notable exception of Russian: The term ljaguska (лягушка) is derived from the verb ljgat (лягать), which means "to kick." Some ideas? https://mapologies.com/herpetology/ #etymology #etymologymap #languagemap

https://mapologies.com/cooking Dessert is one of those international words you’ll find across many languages. The French verb desservir referred to something like the removal of plates after a meal—pretty specific, right? Even when some languages don’t use the French word directly, they often keep the idea of “something served after.” For example, Finnish jälkiruoka literally means “after food”. Other languages focus on the sweet side of the experience: Turkish tatlı and Slovenian sladica.

@jasperb I did not find the etymology of Estonian "sipelgas", so if you know, let me know. As for Latvian "skruzda" is also complicated. Even if it looks connected to Lithuanian "skruzdėlė", I did not find any source for it.

On July 13th a country celebrated its independance: Crna Gora (Црна Гора) is a country known in English as #Montenegro. But what these names mean? The name Crna Gora means “Black Mountain” and it used in other Slavic languages with small variations. Montenegro is a Romance-language calque of the same idea: it comes from Venetian and then spread into other languages. In English, the meaning isn’t obvious from the form, but in Spanish it is. https://mapologies.com/national-names/

A clipping is a shortening of a word. One excellent example is hippo, a short, pleasant-sounding word that is a clipping of hippopotamus. The longer form, hippopotamus, has too many letters for some languages’ tastes. And hippopotamus appears in almost every language. It comes from Ancient Greek ἱπποπόταμος (hippopótamos): Formed by ἵππος (híppos, “horse”) and ποταμός (potamós, “river”).

What do the Danish and Swedish word stork mean? Exactly what you'd think: "stork." It shares deep etymological roots with the German Storch and the Icelandic storkur, all originating from the Proto-Indo-European root *srgos. But this ancient root didn't just stay in the Germanic family—it also survives today as the Latvian stārķis and the Macedonian штрк (štrk). More maps: https://mapologies.com/birds/

The U.S. gov't may have attributed the U.S. water hacks to Iran, but isn't sure exactly which group within Iran's Revolutionary Guards did it. Also: "There may be a reluctance to make an attribution that contradicts the president’s public remarks." 🤦 More: https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2026/08/10/us-water-systems-are-low-hanging-fruit-cyberattacks-experts-warn-after-suspected-iranian-hacks/
