Sea shanties seem to be quite popular at the moment, and the word shanty, as in a rhythmical work song original sung by sailors, comes from the French word <em>chantez<\/em> (sing), the imperative form of the verb <em>chanter<\/em> (to sing), from the Old French <em>chanter<\/em> (to pray, sing, retell or recount), from the Latin <em>cant\u0101re<\/em> (to enchant, bewitch, forwarn, play (music, roles), recite, sing), from <em>can\u014d<\/em> (I crow, foretell, play, sing, celebrate, chant), from the Proto-Italic <em>*kan\u014d<\/em> (to sing), from the Proto-Indo-European <em>*keh\u2082n-<\/em> (to sing).<\/p>\n<p>Words in many European languages for to sing come from the same root, including <strong>cantar<\/strong> (to sing) in Spanish and Portuguese, <strong>cantare<\/strong> (to sing) in Italian, <strong>canu<\/strong> (to sing) in Welsh and <strong>canadh<\/strong> (to sing) in Irish, and such English words as <strong>accent<\/strong>, <strong>chant<\/strong>, <strong>enchant<\/strong>, <strong>incantation<\/strong>, <strong>recant<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Etymology from: <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wiktionary.org\/wiki\/shanty\">https:\/\/en.wiktionary.org\/wiki\/shanty<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a video I made of this information:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iSrJ6K1US_8\" title=\"YouTube video player\" allow=\"accelerometer;
