Answer 5

In a technical sense, two words that have a common origin are cognates. Most often, cognates are words in two languages that have a common etymology and thus are similar or identical. For example, the English "kiosk" and the Spanish "quiosco" are cognates because they both come from the Turkish "kosk".
