Carolyn Cooper | Why do so many words come from Latin?

On the very last day of our language arts classes for this term, my seven-year-old student gave a report on Martin Luther King Jr. He chirpily said Dr King was eloquent. When I asked him what the word meant, he couldn’t answer. And all I said was, “Parrot!” That’s a running joke we’ve had for the last seven months of our virtual classes. He was not amused by the name. He knew I was making fun of him for repeating a word he didn’t understand. He quickly googled it. And I told him the word came from Latin. Then, my student completely redeemed himself from parrothood by asking this perceptive question: “Why do so many words come from Latin?” Over our months of conversation, I’d been telling him about the origin of the ‘big’ words he didn’t know. And, most of the time, they came from Latin. So now he wanted to know why. It’s such a joy to teach an intellectually curious child. You are challenged to provide age-appropriate answers.
