Heidegger, the etymologizing philosopher, has a discussion about Gk logos usually translated as 'reason, speech, word' (which in turn was translated into L. as ratio 'reckoning; reason'; cognates: L. lego 'to gather, collect; read (aloud); choose' (cf. college), legio 'legion, a body of soldiers'. He drew comparisons with the German Ding and English thing as words for generic objects as well as for a gathering (cf. Icelandic alþing 'gathering, parliament', a Romano-German god's name Mars Thinxus (for *Tius þingsaz 'der Gott der Versammlung, the god of the assembly'). (I think it's discussed in his Building, Dwelling, Thinking.)
