The Langtolang word of the day is pain:
"pain
Turkish: aðrý
German: Schmerz
French: douleur
Italian: dolore
Spanish: dolor "
Now take a look at the Turkish: agri. I wonder whether there's a connection between agri and aggra as in aggravation.
Also, I wonder whether there's a connection between dolor and the name Dolores?

Spot on with the Dolores/dolor, but the Turkish is with an edh, not a gee. Maybe the font you have makes it look like a g but this miserable excuse of a Mac shows it as <eth>. That said, aggravate is from Latin ad, in addition to + gravare, to burden.

I wonder whether there's a connection between dolor and the name Dolores?I always thought Dolores was, like dolorous, much closer to sorrowful than painful. Isn't that closest to the meaning of the French douleur as well? And no, I don't consider sorrow and pain to be the same thing at all. Related, often going together, but not the same. And I'm sure all Doloreses would agree with me on that front.

Natheless, it's the same word in Latin, dolor.

Only goes to show that we've come on a lot since the Romans were around, certainly in terms of expressing feelings. Just as well that English has more widespread roots, even if one of the most substantial is in Latin.

Mac shows it as <eth>
And my PC shows it as an edh, the actual character ð, but it shows up on the Langtolang web site as a g with a check mark over it.
Be that as it may, my analysis of aggravate stands.

and Galan (i think it was Galan, if i am wrong a host of people will correct me!) defined the 4 indication of infection- Dolor, color, molar, solar! (pain, redness, swelling and heat..)
Molar, swelling, is commonly known to us as a tooth-- the back teeth that have "bump" or raised (swollen) ridges.. and color via a change in Spanish, gives use the Colorado river (the red river).
solar is more commonly associated with the sun, but the term in latin could be used to indicate the warmth of the sun too.. just as temperature can be used for an acutual measurement, (the temperture today in NY is 81° (f)., or just used to indicate warmer than usual, She is running a temperture.

Gosh, of troy... Those words are begging a story about four girls:
Dolores, Colores, Molares, and Solares, the Pain Sisters.
