Spanish

[edit]Etymology
[edit]Inherited from Old Spanish angel, borrowed from Late Latin angelus (“messenger, angel”), or alternatively perhaps an early borrowing from Old Occitan (compare Catalan àngel, Occitan àngel) or another Gallo-Romance language, explaining the lack of a final -o; a variant dialectal form ángelo is attested, however.[1] The Latin word itself derives from Ancient Greek ἄγγελος (ángelos, “messenger, envoy, angel”). Compare cognate Ladino andjel and the inherited Portuguese anjo.
