Category talk:Romance terms inherited from Latin nominatives

Renaming this category
Hi. If you don't mind I am going to rename these categories to include a hedge word in them, either "potentially" or "likely". This is based on the fact that many of these terms have other etymologies that do not involve the assumption of inheritance from the nominative; in some cases the justification seems questionable to me. For example, ghiotto from *gluttus can be a simple deverbal from the verb, no need to assume inheritance from the noun ; and even the etymology for schiamazzo says it's "possibly" from. I think the hedge word is the best solution here, especially since e.g. the assumption itself of inheritance from the nominative in languages like Spanish and Portuguese is not universally accepted.

 * Hi @Benwing2. Sure. Perhaps we could split the difference and opt for 'plausibly'. Nicodene (talk) 16:38, 21 January 2023 (UTC)
