It's interesting that the "obsolete words" are almost always Latin based.
Sindon for winding-sheet? That comes right from the Latin.

So apparently we used to have MORE Latin cognates. Men were so well educated that they just Anglicized a Latin term.

Contristate is to make sad?
Who ever would have guessed? Contristare is to make sad in Latin.

Any intelligent sounding words in English are invariably from the Latin. For example, applaud is from ad (to) and plaudo, plaudare (to strike, beat).

But the low-brow term is "clap".

"Perspiration" is from the Latin, "Sweat" is from the German/Anglo.

If you can make a compound word out of it and it sounds nice, it's Latin, if it sounds silly, it's a German word.

En-Big-ifier (something from a silly cartoon)
vs.
Enlarger

Now we have dumb made-up words like "Mancation" for a vacation taken by men only, or words beginning with "Bro".
