And, while the word's not Latin, it is Greeked Hebrew, and was probably carried over from the Septuagint into the Latin scriptures, although it appears as a plural.




No, both the Septuagint (http://septuagint.org/LXX/Genesis/Genesis6.html) and the Vulgate (http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/cgi-bin/ptext?lookup=Genesis+6.1) have gigantes = giants.
