Origin:
The word "glotto" ultimately derives from the Proto-Indo-European root *gʰel-, meaning "to sound" or "to utter". This root also gave rise to words such as "call," "cry," and "laugh."
In Ancient Greek, the word γλῶττα (glōtta) originally meant "tongue" or "language," but it later came to be used more specifically to refer to a particular language or dialect. The word was borrowed into Latin as glotta and eventually entered English in the 17th century.
The term "glotto-" is commonly used as a prefix in linguistics to indicate words or concepts related to language, such as:
