Very cool pics!

Wanderlust isn't really an English word derived from German though, it's a "loanword" from German. There isn't a word for it in English so we borrow the German word instead. Like how we borrow deja vu from French. So we are kind of stealing it in this case.

First, I was not talking about the term wanderlust, specifically; I was addressing the general sentiment that English and German have words in common.

Second, to clarify, Germanic languages aren't derived from German; They are derived from the language spoken by the nomadic tribes who eventually settled parts of Europe (including what is now England and Germany). English and German (along with Dutch, Swedish, and others) are examples of Germanic languages. They are linguistic cousins and, as such, have many similar qualities, but neither language, as a whole, is derived directly from the other, which brings us to the example of "wanderlust"....

Wanderlust is a bit of a strange case because it's sort of a loanword-that-isn't. Technically speaking, the usage of wanderlust in the English language was originally borrowed from the German term, but the definition of wanderlust, as it is used in English, is ascribed from the meanings of the English words "to wander" (meaning "to move about aimlessly") and "lust" (meaning "want" or "desire"). Hence, we get the very literal definition of "wanderlust" as a desire to travel, often for the sake of traveling. In fact, wanderlust, itself, is now considered an English word because, as others have mentioned, the German wanderlust is no longer used and because the meaning of wanderlust still makes sense within the context of English language (as opposed to a more obvious loanword, like "kindergarten" or "schadenfreude").

Now, the root words, in either case (wander/wandern and lust/lust) are prime examples of precisely what I was referring to. They are related terms that simply exist in both languages because of their shared base. Make sense now?

Ahh I'd always thought of it as a loanword the same way as the others you mentioned. But I bow to your greater knowledge! Thanks for the explanation.

Yeah, it is technically classified as a loanword, so you're not wrong, in that sense. It's just a very complicated and unusual example of one in that it was so closely related that we were able to literally make it part of our language, rather than just borrowing it. :D

Dang. People on his mom's side of the family must have a habit of having children later. :lol: That's a very nice fiddle, too. I wonder if he knows how to play already or if he's going to learn? :)

I dunno. I'm sure it wouldn't be too much of a challenge for him to learn the basics of it, but restoration seems like just something to do for the sake of itself.

Yes I understood that :P. But wasn't she one of several kids too? Not that it is really important.
