How do you say “tree” in European languages

a while ago I read this sci-fi short story from the 50s where a guy is kidnapped and interrogated by aliens using a very sophisticated lie detector, but he realizes that the lie detector works off technical truth, and with some careful phrasing and misdirection, he manages to make them believe that humans are a race of immortal, overpowered, omniscient telepathic beings. and it works.

my favorite part is when he tells them that humans are "capable of transportation without the aid of spaceships or any vehicles, just by using mental power to control physical matter". it's true, we can. it's called walking.

also! I just needed to look this up as a Hungarian, because yes, while the word sántál makes sense to me, it just sounds old school, we use sántít more nowadays

and ofc I needed to look it up in a Hungarian dictionary and let me nerd out about this one for a bit (bear with my English and the possibly wonky translation of this text)

so the word I looked up was sánta (lame), the noun from sántál/sántít

so basically,, Hungarian got the word from an old Slavic word group, possibly before the 11th century, when the Slavic nasal a still existed (btw if anyone knows about this nasal a, feel free to yap about it, I'm interested)

originally it used to mean something like to walk slowly, haltingly and then in Hungarian the meaning changed to to limp

and then some Slavic languages borrowed it back from Hungarian, apparently Serbo-Croatian and Slovene also have it as šantati

oh wow, I just had a szófosás here (basically a word for yapping in Hungarian, it literally means word-diarrhea)

Šantiť — from Hungarian "sántál" (to limp)

Šarkan — from Hungarian "sárkány" (dragon, virago, vixen, Xanthippe), from Proto-Turkic "siāŕgan" (carp, dragon)

Šarlatán — from German "Scharlatan", from Italian "ciarlatano", a blend of "ciarlatore" (chatterer) and "cerretano" (hawker), the latter coming from the village of Cerreto di Spoleto, known for its tricksters.
