In China, tragically , the liquid symbol of life turned into a symbol of death. Where does the word milk?
should know that one of our original languages in Europe, is the Indo-European. And that language was the word that meant Melga milk. It does remind you of anything? Milk in English and German milch ...
Why milk in French? Because in our language, the Indo-European root that gave way to Greek. Indeed, the latter is galactose, which lost over time its "ga" and saw her turn "ac" to "ai". This development is a classic example is found with the common name "fact" ("it's a fact"), which comes from the Latin factum .
What is a fact is that this story is a tainted milk scandal ... word that I suggest you find another time.
