Kinship between words is bigger and stranger than any one language can see. A disaster is a bad star; English sugar, Turkish şeker and Sanskrit śarkarā are one word wearing three faces. Pick any two words — in any language — and we'll trace each one's ancestry until the lines meet, then scatter the whole surviving family across the world.
Curated cross-language pairs and clusters mined from the directed etymology spine — every card opens a world map of the family it belongs to. Click any pair to trace it.
