**1.25.23** This document is a growing list of cognates, words that novice language learners rely heavily on whenever available, as well as Latinglish, conventional false friends mixed with Latin to mean the English they appear to be. Consider noting Latinglish wherever you find it in its new column, and adding the original Latin meaning. N.B. As long as a dictionary entry includes a matching word at least once in the list of meanings, it's here (e.g. convertere to mean "convert" despite the primary meaning of convertere is "turn around/reverse," or ōrdinārium to mean "ordinary" despite the original meaning of "according to the usual order"). - Magister P
