Talk:chiesa

> Italian - Etymology: Inherited from Latin ecclesia, a borrowing from Ancient Greek ἐκκλησία (ekklēsía) (“assembly”).

That sounds a much of a stretch? Isn't chiesto -> chiesa more likely, i.e. a church is the place where people asked G-d to have mercy on sinners or provide good crop yields, etc. 80.99.11.157 14:56, 25 February 2019 (UTC)
