peninsula meaning in tamil
Peninsula: This is the second word that comes into my mind when I thing of an English word having its roots in Tamil. The word has to be split into three sub words in Tamil as Pen - in - Sula. Pen in Tamil means Woman and the word Sula suggests that she is pregnant. The word in that comes in between the pen-in-sula conveys the same meaning of an  apostrophe s  or 's. Thus Pen-in-sula in Tamil conveys the protruding stomach of the pregnant lady to refer a country of its protruding land space into see. This pen-in-sula over a period of time became peninsula' in English.
