6. Etymological doublets
Sometimes a word is borrowed twice from the same language. As the result, we have two different words with different spellings and meanings but historically they come back to one and the same word. Such words are called etymological doublets. In English there are some groups of them: Latino-French doublets. Latin English from Latin English from French

uncia	inch	ounce
moneta	mint	money
camera	camera	chamber

Scandinavian: skirt English: shirt There are also etymological doublets which were borrowed from the same language during different historical periods, such as French doublets: gentle - mspkhh (iomiuok) genteen - GjioropoflHbifi (ojiHH*aHo6). Sometimes etymological doublets are the result of borrowing different grammatical forms of the same word, For example the Comparative degree of Latin «super» was «superior» which was borrowed into English with the meaning «high in sortie quality or rank». The Superlative degree (Latin «supremus»)in English «supreme» with the meaning «outstanding», «prominent». So «superior» and «supreme» are etymological doublets.
