Galactic latte
The English words galaxy and latte are etymologically related. Galaxy stems from the Ancient Greek word for 'milk', gála, which has the same Proto-Indo-European ancestor as Latin lactem, which became latte in Italian.
The Milky Way was named after its milky glowing band in the night sky. Galaxy used to mean 'Milky Way', but it became a word for any star system when it turned out ours is not the only one in the universe.
