What is the Latin derivation of for

The word "for" doesn't have a direct Latin derivation. It comes from Old English "for," which itself has roots in Proto-Germanic.

However, Latin words that express similar meanings include:

* pro: meaning "for," "on behalf of," "in front of," "before," or "forward."

* gratia: meaning "favor," "thanks," "grace," or "for the sake of."

* causa: meaning "cause," "reason," "case," or "for the sake of."

While "for" itself isn't directly from Latin, these words illustrate how Latin influences English and offers a glimpse into the history of the word.
