Latin is the biggest contributor because the other romance languages are derived from it. French and Spanish in particular. I speak Spanish and can understand French to a point because both come from Latin. Learn Latin. It's a dead language, but when you know it you can name insects and write prescriptions and such.

one of my favorites is --
"in vino veritas" -- "in wine truth"
---a sober person often "hides "their true feelings --- but once a person gets a bit drunk often a persons "true feelings" what they really think "pops" out.
