Most of the core vocabulary and the most common words in Spanish comes from Latin. The Spanish words first learned by children as they learn to speak are mainly words of Latin origin. These words of Latin origin can be classified as heritage words, cultisms and semi-cultisms. </p><p>Most of the Spanish lexicon is made up of heritage lexicon. Heritage or directly inherited words are those whose presence in the spoken language has been continued since before the differentiation of the <a href="/wiki/Romance_languages" title="Romance languages">Romance languages</a>. Heritage words are characterized by having undergone all the phonetic changes experienced by the language. This differentiates it from the cultisms and semi-cultisms that were no longer used in the spoken language and were later reintroduced for restricted uses. Because of this, cultisms generally have not experienced some of the phonetic changes and present a different form than they would have if they had been transmitted with heritage words. </p><p>In the philological tradition of Spanish, cultism is called a word whose morphology very strictly follows its Greek or Latin etymological origin, without undergoing the changes that the evolution of the Spanish language followed from its origin in <a href="/wiki/Vulgar_Latin" title="Vulgar Latin">Vulgar Latin</a>. The same concept also exists in other Romance languages. Reintroduced into the language for cultural, literary or scientific considerations, cultism only adapts its form to the orthographic and phonological conventions derived from linguistic evolution, but ignores the transformations that the roots and morphemes underwent in the development of the Romance language. </p><p>In some cases, cultisms are used to introduce technical or specialized terminology that, present in the classical language, did not appear in the Romance language due to lack of use; This is the case of many of the literary, legal and philosophical terms of classical culture, such as <i>ataraxia</i> (from the Greek ἀταραξία, "dispassion") or <i>legislar</i> (built from the Latin <i>legislator</i>). In other cases, they construct neologisms, such as the name of most scientific disciplines. </p><p>A semi-cultism is a word that did not evolve in the expected way, in the vernacular language (Romance language), unlike heritage words; its evolution is incomplete. Many times interrupted by cultural influences (ecclesiastical, legal, administrative, etc.). For the same reason, they maintain some features of the language of origin. <i>Dios</i> is a clear example of semi-cultism, where it came from the Latin <i>Deus</i>. It is a semi-cultism, because it maintains (without fully adapting to Castilianization, in this case) some characteristics of the Latin language—the ending in -s—, but, at the same time, it undergoes slight phonetic modifications (change of eu for io). <i>Deus</i> &gt; <i>Dios</i> (instead of remaining cultist: <i>Deus</i> &gt; <i>*Deus</i>, or becoming a heritage word: <i>Deus</i> &gt; <i>*Dío</i>). The <a href="/wiki/Catholic_Church" title="Catholic Church">Catholic Church</a> influenced by stopping the natural evolution of this word, and, in this way, converted this word into a semi-cultism and unconsciously prevented it from becoming a heritage word. </p><p>Spanish vocabulary has been influenced by several languages.
