Etymology and related terms: lingvistinen derives from lingvistiikka, the Finnish term for linguistics. The root lingvisti- is linked to the international word linguistics, which ultimately traces back to Latin lingua, meaning language. Related terms include lingvistiikka (linguistics) and lingvistinen, the base adjective meaning linguistic; further connections exist to terms describing language-related study and analysis.
