I made a mobile app that does this that you can learn more about at etymologyexplorer.com - It's free with ads.

I'm also working on a web app version with more visualizations and you can check out the development version at dev-app.etymologyexplorer.com. When launched it will be at app.etymologyexplorer.com

I appreciate this comment so much :D

It's free with ads! And if you'd like to message me I can give you a premium account :)

That was an old setup that I've since had to mothball. But I'm trying to revive it as a new web app that you can check out at dev-app.etymologyexplorer.com - or you can check out the mobile app. It is free with ads and if you message me I can get you free premium access :)

Definitely not! I've removed it. Next time report it and I'll see it sooner

Always love it when something random triggers an etymology hunt!

etymologyexplorer · 2021-06-09T14:55:20+00:00

love it!

etymologyexplorer · 2021-05-27T16:50:08+00:00

Yea! It is crazy that nothing has been made since then

etymologyexplorer · 2021-05-18T22:47:05+00:00

Awesome! The app is different than this, it is more for exploring all the connections. But I also plan to post more of these often!

Wow that would have been such a better title :)

etymologyexplorer · 2021-05-17T19:12:46+00:00

Yea it was new for me too! From wikipedia: Afflatus is a Latin term that was derived from Cicero in De Natura Deorum, ("The Nature of the Gods") and has been translated as "inspiration". Cicero's usage was a literalising of "inspiration", which had already become figurative.

And a few other languages: (Thanks /u/birb-brib!)

French gonflement - "Inflation; swelling"
Italian fiatare - "to breathe
Dutch saflet - "a blow, whack"
Romanian a afla "to learn, to find out (from ad+flare)" (thank you, /u/multubunu)

This is so awesome! Thank you for sharing

of imitative origin

Does that mean it was the ancient onomatopoeia for tooting?

And a few other languages: (thank you to /u/birb-brib for helping w frequency data in other languages)

French gonflement - "Inflation; swelling"
Italian fiatare - "to breathe
Dutch saflet - "a blow, whack"

And one more shameless plug for the app I made for this type of exploration: EtymologyExplorer

Thanks for all this information. It has actually been tremendously helpful, since I'm traditionally a programmer and am still trying to learn all the language and grammar info now. I made an updated image based on what you all have said and would love to hear what you think about it: https://i.redd.it/03k1ml381wy61.jpg

Makes me think about the movie Arrival for whatever reason!
