This is a list of English language Englishwords that may be of Etruscan language Etruscan origin, and were borrowed through Latin , often via French language French . The Etruscan origin of most of these words is disputed, and some may be of Indo European or other origin. The question is made more complex by the fact that the Etruscans borrowed many Greek words in modified form. Typically if a Latin word has an unknown, uncertain or disputed origin, it is considered a possible candidate for deriving in whole or in part from an Etruscan word however, native Etruscan must then be distinguished from Greek. If no Etruscan word is clearly identifiable sometimes an attempt is made to reconstruct one. Etruscan derivations therefore are highly variable in probability that is, some are highly speculative and others more likely.
