A lot of English words ultimately stem from Latin. But did you know there are Latin words that ended up in English two times - in two different forms?

One example is 'trāditiōnem': it became both 'treason' and 'tradition'. Pairs like this are called doublets.

Here's the first installment in my ten-part series on doublets.

Over the next nine days, you'll see charts with doublets in French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Romanian, Catalan, Galician, Dutch, and lastly English again.
