In linguistics, related words (cognates in English) are words that have the same origin. They may appear in the same language, as in writing and in the middle, two Italian words descending from the protoindoeuropean root * skeleton, which means 'cut, engrave'. They can exist in two or more languages, for example night and German Nacht as protoindoeuropeo * nokt- root descendants, for the very 'night'.

The word "singenic" is equivalent to the word "brother-in-law". One derives from the Greek synghenḗs (συγγενής, -ες) 'born together', composed of sýn- (συν) and ghénos (γένοσ) 'birth', while the second from the Latin cognātus 'born together, consanguineous' (n) + (g) nātus, past participle of the verb nāscī 'to be born'. They literally mean both "connected by blood, having a common ancestor, or bound by a nature, a character, or an analogous function."

The term "singenic" or "brother-in-law" is not normally used with loans. To give an example, language would not say that the sushi word is singenic with Japanese sushi, as the word was taken from Japanese. Notemodify wikitesto Voices correlateemodify wikitesto
