    There is usually quite a bit of similarity between words in the Romance languages https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romance_languages. However, there's one exception that I've noticed: "butterfly" is very different in at least the four most common romance languages: es: mariposa, pt: borboleta, fr: papillon, it: farfalla Linguists of ActivityPub, can anyone explain the divergence for that word?
