List of English words of Old English origin‎
Hi, I'm curious. Why do you think that the word livestream comes from Old English? Denisarona (talk) 08:43, 13 April 2023 (UTC)


 * Because the root words it is derived from come from Old English. "Live" comes from Old English lifian/libban, and "stream" comes from Old English strēam. ImmortalRationalist (talk) 17:03, 13 April 2023 (UTC)


 * But 'livestream' as a word did not exist in Old English, it was first used in the early 2000's. Denisarona (talk) 08:39, 14 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Then there should be a consistent standard for lists of words by etymology. For English words of Greek origin and List of Latin words with English derivatives, for instance, there are plenty of references to words with roots in Latin and Greek for things that did not exist in Ancient Greece or in the Roman Empire.

 * From the introduction at the top of the article: "This list also includes neologisms formed from Old English roots and/or particles in later forms of English" ImmortalRationalist (talk) 15:00, 18 April 2023 (UTC)
