Hi, Matilda
Proverb comes from Latin "proverbium", which is "a common saying"; literally: "pro" [-forth"] + "verbum" {- word];
proverbium = words put forward
Many definitions have been attempted of a "proverb", of which none has met universal acceptance.
Verba volant ,scripta manent.[Latin proverb]- Spoken words fly, written words remain.
