My answer is " able" I guessed, it's a French origin language.
Most of our English words are from Latin, as are French words.
However, Dictionary.com show the origin for "able" as:
Origin:
1275–1325; ME
i marine is the correct answer from me. Coz it was used much on the channels, canals . But give us your answer. I was just trying to contribute .
Marine is from the Latin word "Marinus" for sea and came into English use by way of France.
White Smoke, Please give us the result
I know inmate the correct word, but pliz i need the results to know which words i got write or wrong
It will be of great help to be given the correct answer at the end. Rarely the majority is incorrect. Knowing that 41% voted for "marine" does not confirm the correct answer.
i am an indonesian. so, all are almost similar to my perception. again, i believe i amm just lucky
i await results. marine does sound french. it was the most likely answer. so i chose it. would like to see the correct word published.
Definitely not zeitgeiest that sounds like german
marine looks and sounds like the adj marin(e) in french (e) for the feminine . It refers to water / sea / ocean
animate is like the verb animer and the noun is animation. It means to create a nice atmosphere / to give mouvement / to conduct / to stimulate
So the same words exist in both languages. Their origin is latin
I guess the correct answer is able because it's a grammar rule verb or noun + able = adjective
example
English: drink/able suit /able memory / memorable
French: adorer / adorable laver / lavable aimer / aimable memoire/ memorable etc
Both marine and able come from old French, Animate comes from Latin and zeitgeist from German
Phonetically marine sounds French, I shall wait for Results.
I think zeitgeiest a "strange word" so I choose it . But based on poling the majority answer is marine. is it true ?
I'm waiting for the result.
Zeitgeiest certainly sounds German. No contention.
able and animate are definitely latin while zeitgeiest is surely German so i'm certain marime is of french oringin and i'm not surprise the survey result came out as it did.
i would like white smoke to publish the correct answers to of the quiz results at the end of each month.

"Animate" and "marine" very clearly have Latin origin, while zeitgeist is clearly German. So the survey results must be wrong.
