Does anyone know where the word comes from?

Boom boom.

But seriously, it’s interesting where words we use in everyday text/conversation come from. And how they were formed. Or is it just me?

Roots in Latin. Not just you. Etymology is interesting.

I also wonder if there’s another word for thesaurus and why is phonetic not spelt the way it sounds?

I’m sure there’s another word that has a meaning similar to synonym.
