Instances like this make learning a language both utterly frustrating and utterly fascinating - in my humble opinion, at least. “Volar” is used to describe something that is located on the palm of your hand or the sole of you foot, and it comes from a totally different Latin word. The more commonly used definition in English for “volar,” though, has nothing to do with flying. If you imagine a person with a quick temper, though, and you assign the expression “fly off the handle” to that person, then you can associate “volatile” with “flying,” and that can help you make the connection with “volant” and “volar.” Over time, though, the word “volatile” has changed quite a bit, and we use it more often to describe something that can change unexpectedly. That’s right, “volatile” comes from the same Latin base as “volant” and “volar.” In fact, its original meaning was to describe animals and insects that could fly. In other words, you want it to “fly” like a little birdie.Īlong with “volante,” the words “volant” and “volar” are not commonly used in English, so it can be hard to make that cognate connection however, the word “volatile” is very common. The word “volante” does exist in English, too, but it is used exclusively in music direction when you want the music to move with light rapidity. Then I learned “volar,” and I had a hard time thinking of “volar” as “to fly” since I’d learned “volante” as a “steering wheel.” I finally pictured myself figuratively “flying” down the highway at top speed while clutching the “volante” of my little Chevy Chevette, and that helped the two words click for me. Interestingly, the word “volante” in Spanish can also be a noun, and when it is, one of its meanings is “steering wheel.” That was my first encounter ever with the word, years ago when I was first learning Spanish. (This isn’t the commonly used meaning of “volar,” as I explain below.) In English, the word “volar” also exists, but it’s an adjective describing something that is used for flight.
You can enjoy their version here: "Volare" When you learn Spanish, you will usually come upon the verb “volar,” which means “to fly.” “Volar” comes straight from the Latin verb volare which also means “to fly.” If you are a music buff, you might recognize “Volare” as the title of a song written and sung originally by Domenico Modugno that has been redone by many artists including Dean Martin, Bobby Rydell, and The Gipsy Kings (my favorite version).
