Talk:decavat

Etymology
In cases like this I believe it's just derived from the verb. The DEX entry says compare the French, but does point to as the etymology. It's fine to at least mention the French though. Ultimateria (talk) 20:13, 31 January 2021 (UTC)
 * You should really address this issue before adding more incorrect etymologies. I'm pinging to weigh in too. Ultimateria (talk) 20:33, 31 January 2021 (UTC)
 * , I agree with you, it is an issue. I've brought it to Bogdan's attention. --Robbie SWE (talk) 20:37, 31 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Should I say that it's the past participle of decava, but calqued after décavé? Bogdan (talk) 20:41, 31 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Also, many of the other words are also calqued, rather than directly borrowed, despite what DEX says. For instance, is also an internal derivation to mimic the French, but DEX says it's from French. Bogdan (talk) 21:05, 31 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Exactly, say that it's a past participle but calqued after French. --Robbie SWE (talk) 21:39, 31 January 2021 (UTC)
