In his article from 1971 Bruno Migliorini advocated for further analysis of the vast amount of latinismos in Romance languages whose etymons are polysemous. This article is an attempt to continue the guidelines presented by the Italian linguist, this time in a properly documented version. Although, for obvious reasons, it is limited to a single language and a reduced number of words, we hope to present the wide range of different behaviors that can take the latinismos in the Spanish language, inviting, in this way, to further studies.
