Does the word picture come from a latin word?

No, the word "picture" doesn't come from a Latin word. It actually has a more complicated origin:

* Old French: The word "picture" is derived from the Old French word "pictire," meaning "painting."

* Latin: While "pictire" isn't directly from Latin, it is ultimately based on the Latin word "pingere," which means "to paint."

So, while "picture" doesn't directly translate from a Latin word, its ancestry can be traced back to Latin through Old French.
