List of Latin words with English derivatives


This is a list of Latin words with derivatives in the English language.
Ancient orthography did not distinguish between i and j or between u and v. Many modern works distinguish u from v but not i from j. In this article, both distinctions are shown as they are helpful when tracing the origin of English words. See also Latin [phonology and orthography].

Nouns and adjectives

The citation form for nouns is the Latin nominative singular, but that typically does not exhibit the root form from which English nouns are generally derived.
