TRABAJO

Chanturia's dictionary gives us a very interesting word: ტრაბახა [trabaha] in the meaning of "bragger". While in Spanish "trabajo" means. How can they be connected being opposite? And here it is. We take the Spanish version of the word " to boast" - "jactarse" - and discard the ending of the reflexive verb to be left with the obsolete word "jactar", meaning "agitar, mover con cierta violencia", i.e. "to set in motion, to move with effort". Which is, "to work"...
