Are "apse" and "lapse" etymologically related words?
(maybe by "deep" etymology?)
If so, how?
If not, how not? _________________ "We're the healthiest horse in the glue factory" - Erskine Bowles, Co-Chairman of the deficit reduction commission |

For what it's worth, here's what the good people on Wiktionary.org say:
apse:
via Latin apsis, from Ancient Greek ἁψίς (hapsis, “arch, vault”), from ἅπτω (haptō, “I bind, join”)
lapse:
from Middle French laps, from Latin lapsus, from labi (“to slip”) |
