Thus, most European languages have borrowed from Latin and ancient Greek, especially for technical terms, but the native terms continue to be used in non-technical contexts.

English often uses the Germanic term only as a noun, but has Latin and Greek adjectives: <i>hand</i>, <i>manual</i> (L), <i>chiral</i> (Gk); <i>heat</i>, <i>thermal</i> (L), <i>caloric</i> (Gk). Sometimes the Germanic term has become rare, or restricted to special meanings: <i>tide</i>, <i>time</i>/<i>temporal</i>, <i>chronic</i>.<sup id="cite_ref-13" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Many <a href="/wiki/Bound_morphemes" class="mw-redirect" title="Bound morphemes">bound morphemes</a> in English are borrowed from Latin and Greek and are synonyms for native words or morphemes: <i>fish</i>, <i>pisci-</i> (L), <i>ichthy-</i> (Gk). </p><p>Another source of synonyms is <a href="/wiki/Neologism" title="Neologism">coinages</a>, which may be motivated by <a href="/wiki/Linguistic_purism" title="Linguistic purism">linguistic purism</a>.
