The Latin word "fluid" can be broken down into its constituent parts:
FLUID = FLU + UID > FLU + UIT (D>T).
This decomposition reveals potential connections to the Albanian language.
Albanian Roots
1. "UI" / "UJ" meaning water, as seen in Albanian words like "ujë" (water).
2. "F" indicating air blowing, possibly derived from the sound of exhaling air.
3. "LU" suggesting movement, as in Albanian words like "luj-leviz" (to move).
Component Analysis
- F'LU: movement in blowing or air flow
- UID/UIT: water, a gender-specific form
of Albanian language.
Implications
This etymological analysis suggests that the Latin word "fluid" might have roots in the Albanian language. The presence of distinct Albanian roots for water ("ujë") and movement ("lu") contrasts with Latin's use of "aqua" and "movere" for these concepts.
Linguistic Connections
Further exploration of Albanian-Latin linguistic connections could provide insights into the evolution of languages and potential borrowings of Latin from Albanian language.
