Latvian

Galaktika (NGC 5194)

Etymology

Via other European languages, ultimately borrowed from Latin galaxias (“galaxy; Milky way”), itself a borrowing from (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Ancient Greek γαλαξίας (galaxías, “Milky Way”), from γάλα (gála, “milk”). The form with -ka suggests that the borrowing went through the adjectival form γαλακτικός (galaktikós), rather than directly from the noun (compare Russian гала́ктика (galáktika), the most likely proximal source).
