Iirc it's "Couleur" in french.
- Amezarak 7y agoIt is now, maybe, but not when the borrowing took place.
- toyg 7y agoColore in Italian. Adding random "u"s to Latin words is a very French thing.
- Anarch157a 7y agoPortuguese abbreviated it to "cor", but we keep the longer version on the verb "colorir" (to color).
- AstralStorm 7y agoAnd in Polish we have both the Latin import "kolor" (Phonetic k in place of c) and Slavic variant "barwa". (Sounded with v English sound as w per phonetic Latin and forward trill r) Polish is weird like that.
