Cognate

意味　[言] 同語源の語.

Cognates are words that have a similar sound, spelling or meaning in a variety of languages. For example, ‘amigo’ means ‘friend’ in both Portuguese and Spanish. In Italian it’s ‘amico’ and in French, ‘ami’. Similarly, in Japanese, ‘naifu’ (ナイフ) and ‘fōku’ (フォーク) are similar to the English ‘knife’ and ‘fork’.
