Um, yea, I have to teach children a Latin word tomorrow and my word is "bear." I can't really figure out how to say it and what it is. I'm thinking it's "gero," but I'm not sure. Well, thanks for the help!!

Latin Word For Bear

I think that "bear" is "ursus" in Latin. This not only stands for the large animal in nature, but also is used in scientific terminology for "ursus major" and "ursus minor," two of the starry constellations that outline what people imagined looked like large, bearish animals.

If you mean bear as in "carry," you might want to go with fero (ferre, tuli, latum). A bit more common than gero, but both are just fine.

well, breaking up a word into parts isnt always the best way to understand it's roots. try this: The word "politics" comes from the Greek word "Πολιτικά" (politika), modeled on Aristotle's "affairs of state", the name of his book on governing and governments, which was rendered in English mid-15 century as Latinized "Polettiques".[4] Thus it became "politics" in Middle English c. 1520s (see the Concise Oxford Dictionary). The singular "politic" first coined in English 1430 and comes from Middle French "politique", in turn from Latin "politicus",[5] which is the romanization of the Greek "πολιτικός" (politikos), meaning amongst others "of, for, or relating to citizens", "civil", "civic", "belonging to the state", [6] in turn from "πολίτης" (polites), "citizen"[7] and that from "πόλις" (polis), "city".[8] it's like saying the bible is actually referring to 2 balls.. >_> but yeah i get what you're saying haha. politics is messy and full of deception.
