    The Italian word for earth is la terra, while in Spanish it’s la tierra.

    Does it make any sense to say that one language had it first? Both are directly from Latin terra.

    English, German, Dutch, Swedish, etc. all descend from a common ancestor, Proto- Germanic. There’s a lot of vocabulary they all inherited from it.
