Fragment of a discussion from User talk:Rua
Templates can be rather confusing because we have one, and sometimes more than one, for every thing. The most important templates to learn for etymologies are {{term/t}}
(and {{term}}
which is the same but with its parameters named differently), {{etyl}}
, {{borrowed}}
, {{compound}}
, {{prefix}}
, {{suffix}}
, {{confix}}
and {{blend}}
. You will also often see {{l}}
, which is similar to {{term/t}}
but is meant to be used outside running text, like in lists and such.
