through the Slavic channel / connection
Explanation:

Sunt mai multe modalităţi de formulare, cea mai concisă fiind "from Latin through / via Slavic". Sau "mediated through / by Slavic".


"We have, for instance, the words sure, and secure, with their derivatives surety, and security, to assure, to insure, etc.
Both these words are from Latin securus, but sure came through the French channel, where the consonant between the two vowels (c) has disappeared, while secure came directly from Latin, without any French influence."


"Anglophone speakers have long mediated Indigenous loanwords through Spanish, French, Portuguese, and other European languages".

"In the Older Scots period, Latin influence is generally mediated by French".
