>>19270474i was thinking today about how 'parasol' is like 'para sol' which means 'for sun' in spanish but that's not actually where the word parasol comes from
it comes from the italian 'para sole' where 'para' means to ward off or to guard something (sole means sun), and the italian 'para' is also where the word 'parry' comes from, like to block or to defend
i think that's so interesting
