Let’s talk about the rabbit-hole that is Pseudo-latin. Because holy, I just spent three hours researching and experimenting to come up with TWO FREAKING WORDS.
Basically half of the English language is Pseudo-latin lets be real, any word that isn’t borrowed from another language is based off of latin.
Like: history -> Historia
Sentient -> Sentia/sentire (feel)
Future -> Futurum
Etc etc etc you get it
But it’s so fascinating how this dead language that—let’s be honest—most people don’t understand, lives on in so many different forms. But then on top of that, Pseudo-latin comes around and is like, “hah, funny words, lets make them weirder” and you get stuff in fictional literature like legilimency.
(Yes I used a Harry Potter reference it’s my longest standing hyper-fixation)
All I’m saying is maybe we live in a fictional world as well, one where the author used Pseudo-latin to come up with the English language (and many others of course)
