All words came from half-human apes in caves making grunting sounds, 
which at some point they decided was more useful than the usual boolean 
expression of "hit with club" or "do not hit with club". The evolution 
of language is a complex topic, and these days to some degree they all 
bleed together borrowing from each other (especially English, which is 
messy and fluid).
