Today I learned that the word "thatch" as in thatched roof shares its etymology with the dinosaur "stegosaurus." They both derive from the Proto-Indo-European word *(s)teg, meaning "to cover." In Greek, *(s)teg became stego meaning "roof," while in Old English it became þeccan (theccan).

Also, the English words sprinkle and freckle are cognates, both derived from the PIE root *(s)prek meaning "to scatter."

Etymology is amazing
