Grimm's law

In linguistics, the rule (formulated 1822 by Jakob Grimm) by which certain prehistoric sound changes have occurred in the consonants of Indo-European languages: for example Latin p became English and German f sound, as in pater – father, Vater.

Such correspondences show the kinship between various native English words and those borrowed from the classical or Romance languages.
