Morning thought of the day: The German word for parasol is Sonnenschirm (“sun umbrella”), why does English use parasol and not sunbrella? It’s right there! 😉

@yatil It was quite a revelation to me when I learned that the Spanish word for umbrella is paraguas, as in "for water"... just like a parasol is "for sun"! 😲 But yes, sunbrella would also have been a fun word, hahah
