slavonicisms

[ feed | comment feed | cloud | sort:  alpha / order added ]
English borrowings from Slavic languages; in some cases, a word might be rooted in another language but entered English from a Slavic language (e.g. nihilism was popularized by Ivan Turgenev, as нигилизм – nigilizm, in the novel Fathers and Sons, though its root, nihil, is Latin).

Interesting list, rolig! I wouldn't have guessed that "robot" or "cravat" should be on it.
