Beyond its derivation from Latin labarum, the etymology of the word is unclear. [5] The Oxford English Dictionary offers no further derivation from within Latin. [6] Some derive it from Latin /labāre/ 'to totter, to waver' (in the sense of the "waving" of a flag in the breeze) or laureum [vexillum] ("laurel standard"). [7]
This is a list of Latin words with derivatives in English (and other modern languages). Ancient orthography did not distinguish between i and j or between u and v. [1] Many modern works distinguish u from v but not i from j. In this article, both distinctions are shown as they are helpful when tracing the origin of English words.

Constantine's standard was known as the Labarum. Early symbols similar to the Chi Rho were the Staurogram ( ) and the IX monogram ( ).
