INTERESANTE
Latin Lemma
Latin Meaning
(Intersum "to lie between; to be different; to be present at; to be of interest"; the impersonal interest was used in the sense of "it makes a difference, concerns, is of interest" L&S. The PRESPART of intersum was interessens, -ntis, so interesante is a later derivational creation. Semantic equivalents of Sp interesante in Lat were utilis, commodus DRAE 1817, commodus, oportunus and idoneus BF.
