| Notes: | A doublet is one of two or more words derived ultimately from a single source: abbreviate/abridge, fragile/frail, guardian/warden. The doublets may or may not show much resemblance and they also vary in closeness of meaning. Somewhere along their line of development they diverge and go off in different paths. The term cognate is usually reserved for two or more words in different languages that share a common ancestor as English father, Latin Pater, Greek pater, Spanish and Italian padre, French pere, and German Vater. |
