A good example is the Spanish word ‘caballero’ which literally translates as ‘horseman’, but these days is more understood to mean ‘gentleman’. There is a multitude of words derived from ‘horse’ and ‘cow’ in different languages. Please let me know if you have any suggested additions and corrections. It is very difficult to obtain accurate information on specific agricultural words (particularly in languages written in unfamiliar scripts).
