KILBOTz 04/06/21 8:59:28 PM #3:	looks like the origin of light was germanic litter if you mean like a litter of puppies has latin roots (turned french) of lectus (latin) lit french). if you mean like improper disposal of waste, i can't find that origin. literature is latin based but on the word "lit" or "littera" which means letter. --- https://imgur.com/O3syCWD https://imgur.com/k3YiBdG <cite>KILBOTz posted [p:952546584] in Are the wo...
