How can Papiroflexia be a spanish word?

"Papyr" is egyptian,

"Flex" is english (or latin) and

"-ia" is a greek ending (i.e. dyslex-ia etc.)

Is that a real info from the artist or is it a creation of the uploader 's imagination?

[zell777]

So in that case, paper is not an English word, neither is flex. Most words come from ancient languages, that change and combine and evolve with time.

You can find it in a Spanish dictionary, and used in Spanish language, which is all that matters.

@zell777 Weap, I searched it in google with keywords "papiroflexia", "wiki" and the result came out to be a page in Spanish that claimed the word as their own... But.... " papiroflexia" is a combined word "trying" to describe "origami" for the western civilization to "understand", therefore cannot be claimed by any language and especially one that did not exist when "papyr" was invented... always philologically speaking... and remember... not all things in the net are true...

[zell777]

Well of course, it doesn't mean the word is of Spanish origin, just that it is used in the Spanish language with a specific meaning.

There's no such thing as "Spanish origin" anyway, it's a latin tongue (borrowing from a lot more too, but mostly latin)

1st things 1st:

Stop trying to be smart asses and telling us that this word is this and this. Clearly all of modern day languages originated from the half dozen old tongues.

Now, please everyone enjoy the short film. :)
